Dear Council Members:
The attached resolution for your consideration and approval will authorize submission of a
Brownfields Assessment Grant application to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency. We intend to submit an application fora $200,000 Assessment Grant to restart the
Assessment program that was funded by a previous EPA grant. That grant was closed out last
year. With the previous assessment grant we were able to conduct environmental assessments at
nine locations. If this application is approved we anticipate being able to conduct approximately
ten environmental assessments at locations throughout South Bend. We will also use some of
the grant to update and expand our existing brownfield inventory. The application is due at EPA
by October 15th.
I will attend the Council meeting on October 11th. Please contact me at 235-9374 or at
akolata(a~southbendin.gov if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Ann E. Kolata
Senior Redevelopment Specialist
