   Anthony DeBonis, attorney for the East Chicago Waterway Management District Board of Directors, said at Thursday's meeting that a legal settlement is imminent over the remediation of a former refinery and oil tank farm.
   
   The approximately 40-acre parcel is located west of Indianapolis Boulevard, south of the canal and immediately north of the MacArthur Park Golf Course.
   
   The land's most recent tenant, Energy Cooperative Inc., ceased operations of the refinery around 1976 and it was dismantled in 1981. The company has since gone bankrupt.
   
   The land is the original site of the Sinclair Oil refinery dating back to 1918. Arco assumed the operation in the late 1960s, with ownership passing on to Energy Cooperative Inc.
   
   A court ruling deemed Arco the responsible party for the land's cleanup and return to a state suitable for recreational uses, DeBonis explained. Both soil and ground water will be removed from the site and treated at a facility adjacent to the CDF established for handling of materials dredged from the canal.
   
   DeBonis said he will be meeting with Arco officials Monday to discuss final terms of the settlement. He declined to offer a potential dollar amount to be placed in a trust, but said he was hopeful that the settlement would be sufficient to develop a golf course.
   
   Arco's architects and engineers are willing to work with the city to adapt its remedial plan to the city's specifications, DeBonis said.
   
   "They have cooperated every step of the way to get these issues resolved," he said.
