Yard South Cleanup
The South Portland Housing Development Corporation (SPHDC) will hold a public meeting to discuss a Brownfields Cleanup Project at The Yard South site, located at 149 Front Street in South Portland, Maine. This project is funded through Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund Subgrants and Loans from the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development and the Greater Portland Council of Governments.
The public meeting will be held on Thursday, April 13, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom teleconferencing (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81938587100). During this meeting, project representatives will discuss the proposed cleanup plan and funding mechanisms. A draft Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) report has been prepared, and the remedial plan currently includes site re-grading and construction of soil cover systems, shoreland stabilization, and construction of clean utility corridors. The 30-day public comment period for the Brownfields cleanup plan is between Thursday, April 6 and Monday, May 8, 2023.
