Public Comment
on the Caleb Foundation EPA Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Project
at the former North Berwick Woolen Mill Site located at 40 Canal Street
in North Berwick, Maine
The Caleb Foundation
has submitted a subgrant request in the amount of $200,000 to SMRPC's
EPA Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund. These funds will be used to remediate
environmental contamination at the former North Berwick Woolen Mill
Site located at 40 Canal Street in North Berwick, Maine. A Community
Relations Plan and an Analysis of Cleanup Alternatives has been drafted
for this project and submitted to SMRPC. Starting April 21, 2008, SMRPC
is receiving public comments on these documents. The information repository
on this project, including the environmental assessments, and other
environmental information is located at SMRPC's offices and is available
for viewing during normal business hours and at other times by appointment.
These documents may be viewed during normal business hours (Monday through
Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm) at SMRPC's office located at 21 Bradeen
Street, Suite 304, Springvale, ME 04083. The comment period will run
30 days and end on May 20, 2008. A public meeting on this project will
be held on Tuesday, May 6 at 6:30 pm at the North Berwick Town Hall.
If you have any questions, please call Chuck Morgan at (207) 324-2952.
