In October 2004, Aiken County received a $200,000 Brownfields Assessment grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to assist the community in redeveloping the Seminole Mill property in Clearwater, South Carolina, and other brownfield sites throughout the county. Grant funds will be used to conduct community outreach, perform Phase I and II site assessments, conduct health monitoring activities for surrounding communities, and develop cleanup and reuse plans at the 26-acre abandoned, burned textile mill property.
Do You Know Where Brownfields Are Located In Aiken County?
Aiken County government, through the assistance of a Federal
Environmental Protection Agency grant, is trying to locate all
brownfields in the county. A brownfield is defined by EPA as
abandoned or underutilized properties where redevelopment is
complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination.
Brownfields typically are eyesores for communities. These
properties, if cleaned up and returned back into productive use,
could create jobs and promote economic development.
There will be four public meetings for you to tell us where brownfields are located:
- Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. at the Wagener Town Council Chambers, located at 111 Railroad Avenue in Wagener, SC.
- Thursday, September 29, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. at the Aiken County Council Chambers, located at 736 Richland Avenue West in Aiken, SC.
- Thursday, October 6, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. at the Silver Bluff High School Auditorium, located at 64 Desoto Drive located between New Ellenton and Jackson, SC.
- Thursday, October 13, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. at the North Augusta Community Center, located at 495 Brookside Avenue in North Augusta, SC.
Please call 800-846-6001 for additional information.
