STANDISH TWP. - The Saginaw-Chippewa Indian Tribe is applying for  
Brownfield Redevelopment funds for environmental cleanup activities  
and possible demolition at the Stop & Go property in Standish Township.

Representatives from the tribe held a public meeting at the Saganing  
Tribal Center Jan. 7 to discuss the grant application process. A copy  
of the public meeting notice says the grant could provide the tribe  
up to $200,000 for environmental cleanup if it was approved for the  
grant.

Frank Cloutier, public relations manager for the tribe, said the  
property is an old gas station, and because of that there could be  
hazardous materials at the site. Cloutier said the tribe has sought  
Brownfield monies for the property from the U.S. Environmental  
Protection Agency in the past.

"There's petroleum byproducts that may have been left," he said.  
"There are a couple of monitoring wells that have to be dealt with.  
We're just looking with some help to get that mitigated if we can.  
We've applied for this before. There were some time limitations that  
were a problem."
