2009 Piscataquis County Brownfields Assessment Program Public Informational Meeting
The PCEDC was the recent recipient of a $200,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to be used to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning and community involvement activities related to potential hazardous-waste impacted Brownfield sites in Piscataquis County. (A Brownfield site is any property where the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of may be complicated by the presence, or potential presence of, a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.)

As part of the community involvement process, the PCEDC has organized a public informational meeting to educate interested individuals about the Brownfields program, to answer questions from community members, and to solicit potential sites that could be potentially benefit from this project. Therefore, we are strongly encouraging all interested parties to attend this meeting.

The meeting will be held on September 2nd, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Penquis Higher Education Center (50 Mayo Street, Dover-Foxcroft).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the PCEDC office. For more information, you may look at the EPA’s Brownfields site at http://www.epa.gov/brownfields/index.html.
