A brownfield is an abandoned, idled, or underused industrial or commercial facility or other real property at which the expansion or redevelopment of the real property is complicated by environmental contamination caused by pollution.
The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that through EPA funding the DEQ has performed site characterization, risk evaluation, and will perform remediation on the site as follows:
The property was formerly a cultural attraction with a museum and gift shop and support buildings. The buildings
contain asbestos. The asbestos in the Museum Lodge building and the Campground building will be removed through a wet demolition due to the poor conditions of the building. The property will be available for Tribal reuse once the buildings are removed.
This project was funded by EPA, but the content does not necessarily reflect EPA's views or policies, and EPA does not endorse specific products or commercial services selected for this project. The public may review and submit comments regarding the ABCA and any amendments to the Grantee contact listed below and may request a public forum during the above specified public comment period. Written comments should be submitted to Kasie Stambaugh at the address below.
