EPA CWA Program (2017-2019)
On May 31, 2017 the City of St. Helens was awarded a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess sites that have been contaminated by potentially hazardous substances, pollutants or other contaminants left behind due to previous development on the land. The sites are known as brownfields. These properties often remain underdeveloped underutilized because of the barriers they face based on known or suspected contamination.
These federal resources allow the City to provide environmental assessments to property owners who think that the historic use of their property may have led to real or perceived contamination. The resources will fund work at-no-cost to the property owner to assess the presence, character, and extent of contamination and, if necessary, identify a clear path to environmental remediation through cleanup.
If you are interested in learning more about the environmental assessment resources that may be available to you or if you have questions about the City’s Brownfields Assessment Program, please contact Associate Planner Jenny Dimsho at jdimsho@ci.st-helens.or.us or 503-366-8207.
