PUBLIC NOTICE OF EPA BROWNFIELDS CLEANUP GRANT APPLICATION BY MARSHALL UNIVERSITY Marshall University is announcing plans to submit a cleanup grant application to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for cleanup of a portion of the former Flint Group Pigments Site located at the corner of 5th Avenue and 24th Street, in Huntington, WV. This property has had environmental assessment activities performed, including a Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. Assessment results indicate the presence of elevated levels of several Chemicals of Concern (COCs), including PCBs, in the soil as a result of past practices at the site. These environmental impacts will require remediation prior to site redevelopment. This application process is requesting EPA funds to help fund cleanup activities on the site. The EPA encourages public participation in these applications to ensure the local community is being informed and allowed to comment and provide input into the project. As part of the University’s efforts, the public is invited and encouraged to review and comment on proposed cleanup plans. A summary of the project and proposed activities, and an Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA), will be made available November 1st, 2022, at 7:00 p.m. during the Highlawn Neighborhood Association meeting. The meeting will take place at Community of Grace United Methodist Church, 225 28th St. in Huntington WV. These materials will also be available for public review through November 15th, 2022, at Marshall University’s Brownfields Assistance Office located at the Weisberg Applied Engineering Complex – 1656 3rd Avenue Huntington WV, Room 1207. For questions or additional information, please contact Mark Buchanan, Project Coordinator at 304-696-2815 Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm. LC-138518 10-19;2022
