The City of New Bedford, through its Environmental Stewardship Department, intends to apply for two EPA Brownfields Cleanup Grants on or about January 22, 2014. These grants will be used to close out two underground oil storage tanks formerly used in the operation of Cliftex Mills, as well as petroleum impacted soil. The tanks and impacted soil are on two city-owned properties and one grant will be submitted for each property.
Draft copies of the applications are available for review at the Wilks Library at 1911 Acushnet Avenue, New Bedford, as well as at the Department of Environmental Stewardship office at 133 William Street, Room 304, and on the Department of Environmental Stewardship webpage at: newbedford-ma.gov/Environmental/brownfields/brownfields.html
