City of Sutter Creek Gets Good News From The EPA

slide2The City of Sutter Creek received good news from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency yesterday. The City had applied for a Brown Field grant for the Central Eureka Mine, and the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, in return has granted the City $200,000 to clean up the site which contains mining waste and is impacted with heavy metals. The clean up will remove the health and safety risks associated with the site making it perfect for the City’s hopes of using the 12 acres as a historic park that will provide walking trails. The EPA also granted $200,000 to clean a hazardous waste site in Tulare County.
