The City of Sherwood, Oregon, including subagencies, is seeking public comment on the agency’s intent to submit a grant application for $2M+ in Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Brownfields grant funds that would be used to prepare final plans & bid documents, create the final contaminated media management plan, obtain all necessary site-grading & construction permits, and complete the site cleanup project and leave the site pre-graded with the environmental enhancements completed along the north floodplain side of the Tannery Site until the site is developed for future public use. The cleanup efforts will follow 1 of the 4 alternatives identified in the Revised Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) report dated July 2018, which is available for review on the City’s webpage linked below.
