(December 2024) The City submitted an application and was selected to receive assistance with the Army Base from the EPA Region 9 Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) Program. Initial deliverables include a site visit, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), and development of an EPA-approved Phase II ESA sampling plan. Pending renewal of the TBA contract, EPA plans to complete the Phase II sampling, the associated report, and the draft Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) during the summer of 2025. Completing these deliverables will position the City to apply for an EPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant in the Fall.
We are very excited to receive this support to advance the revitalization of the Army Base site and prepare for future funding opportunitie
