This Cooperative Agreement award is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 66.818). The $4,485,900 grant awarded to the City of Keokuk, Iowa will support the remediation of a 9.44-acre brownfield site located at 365 Carbide Lane. Specific project activities include the abatement of approximately 11,000 sq. ft. of asbestos-containing building materials and lead-based paint, the removal of 33,150 cubic yards of contaminated soil, and the preparation of various environmental reports. Additionally, the City will competitively procure and oversee a qualified environmental consultant, create a community involvement plan, and submit quarterly progress reports. The City has sub-awarded a portion of the grant to the Southeast Regional Interoperability Preparedness Consortium (SERIPC) to provide grant oversight, community engagement, and cleanup planning support.
