“This EPA brownfield grant will help Marquette County assess contaminated sites so they can be cleaned up,” U.S. EPA Region 5 Administrator Susan Hedman said. “This grant will help restore land to productive use and spur redevelopment.”
Once negotiated, the County will receive $200,000 for assessment of petroleum sites and $200,000 for assessment of sites with hazardous materials. Through the Marquette County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, the funds will specifically be used to develop an inventory of potential Brownfield sites, perform Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments, prepare cleanup plans, conduct area-wide planning, and support community outreach activities.
