The 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.
