Marco's air stripper

This piece of equipment, built by city employees, was designed to agitate groundwater from dewatering in order to remove hydrogen sulfide. Scientists from environmental monitoring firm Environ have looked at ambient air readings near the site as part of their testing on the island. They are expected to give a presentation at Monday’s City Council meeting regarding their work on Marco.
