Indiana — $4.0 Million
Awarded – 07/16/2009
Summary Of Work – The Indiana Finance Authority (IFA) and the Indiana Brownfields Program (Program), on behalf of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), will use the LUST Recovery Act money to perform site assessments and remedial actions at petroleum-contaminated sites throughout the state.
The 25 proposed shovel-ready sites throughout Indiana have been identified as orphaned or abandoned sites that are eligible for ARRA funding but for which adequate funding is not available to conduct assessment or clean-up. Some sites may be removed from the list and others added as the site assessment activities are completed. As of September 21, 2009, site work is underway at 14 sites with a total projected cost of $1.46 million. An estimated 36 USTs will be removed in order to undertake site cleanup, which will include the excavation of 11,200 tons of contaminated soil, resulting in the cleanup of 6.56 acres of property.
