EPA releases report on Allied Landfill cleanup options

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently completed and released the Feasibility Study Report for Allied Paper Landfill – Operable Unit 1 as part of the Superfund cleanup process. Located between Alcott and Cork Streets in Kalamazoo, the historic landfill has PCB contamination from the disposal of paper-making residuals at the property.

The Feasibility Study evaluates four different potential cleanup alternatives from “no action” to “total removal and off-site disposal”. The EPA fact sheet provides a brief summary of the different alternatives with approximate cost estimates. You can also read about the nine evaluation criteria EPA will use to select the final alternative to implement at the site.

A full copy of the Feasibility Study Report can be download at http://www.epa.gov/Region5/cleanup/alliedpaper/.

Partnering with Freshwater Future

In partnership with the City of Kalamazoo, we recently received a Climate Change grant from Freshwater Future to launch a rain barrel campaign to raise awareness about stormwater runoff and water conservation. In the face of a changing climate, it is more important than ever to start managing runoff as a resource, consider everyday things we can do to control runoff and flooding, and continue to conserve water.

Kalamazoo Community Rain Barrel Sale!

Barrel_pics_upcycleRain barrel orders can be placed between March 15 and May 10. Hurry, we’re offering a special discounted price of $45/barrel for a limited quantity! Check out our sale webpage for ordering information — COMMUNITY RAIN BARREL SALE!

Kalamazoo Community Foundation supports watershed management planning

The Kalamazoo Community Foundation recently announced the Spirit of Community Environment Fund grant recipients for 2014. The Kalamazoo River Watershed Council’s proposal to conduct non-point source inventories along the Kalamazoo River and connecting tributaries in Kalamazoo County was selected for funding. We are grateful for their support and look forward to advancing our watershed implementation plan. As part of this project, we will connect with a variety of stakeholders to further advance and prioritize their water quality project ideas.
