Riverfront Park receives $600,000 in federal funding as ‘brownfield’ site by Kip Hill Spokane Spokesman-Review WA) May 31, 2017 The Environmental Protection Agency will give Spokane $600,000 to aid in efforts cleaning up “dirty dirt” in Riverfront Park. The agency announced recipients of grants under its “brownfields” program Wednesday, which included three grants of $200,000 each targeting the former Canada Island, Havermale Island and the north bank of the Spokane River in Riverfront Park, which is undergoing a $64 million taxpayer-funded renovation. City officials proclaimed the 100-acre attraction built for Expo ’74 in the heart of Spokane’s former railroad and industrial district a brownfield redevelopment area in September. The federal grant will be used instead of bond money to reimburse contractors for cleaning soil laced with arsenic, mercury, cadmium and other hard metals remaining from the site’s industrial past. … For the entire article, see http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2017/may/31/riverfront-park-receives-600000-in-federal-funding/ -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center P.O.
