Ashland, Wisconsin has received a $200,000 grant to evaluate sites that contain potentially hazardous substances. The grant was awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency last week.
Ashland is one of seven Wisconsin communities to receive such a grant from EPA. The city plans to use the funds to evaluate a handful of key sites, including the Clarkson coal dock. An earlier assessment of the same area revealed contamination by coal dust, oil residues and wood treatment chemicals.
The city of Ashland is taking steps to reclaim its waterfront from many decades of industrial use. The lure of tourism has done much to spur City and County officials to expand their efforts to clean up formerly industrial zones along Chequamegon Bay.
