EPA loan being used to turn ex-dump into athletic fields 
By Marlys Duran, News Staff Writer 

ENGLEWOOD -- The largest loan to come out of a federal environmental-cleanup
program is being used by city officials to turn a former dump into athletic
fields. 

Englewood borrowed $709,000 through the Environmental Protection Agency's
"brownfields" program to vent methane gas and put a clay cap on the former
landfill, which is in Sheridan but will become part of Englewood's adjacent
Centennial Park. 

The city will spend more than $2.2 million in additional money to develop the
9.4 acres with three lighted ball fields, restrooms, trail connections and
kayak access to the South Platte River.
