Commissioners: regional Brownfield grant moving forward; local site testing to continue
Summary
Commissioners reported that a regional Brownfield grant will fund studies across several counties including sites in Cameron County; a lab error forced retesting of soil samples at Pickrick Flats, which the lab will cover, officials said.
Commissioner (S4) said the county is participating in a regional Brownfield grant and that field work is continuing on local sites including a 370-acre property the team visited with Montrose Environmental. “But since we had to go in with a regional approach for the $1,600,000, I think we got 1,500,000 somewhere around there,” the commissioner said, noting the award must be split among participating counties.
The commissioner said crews collected soil samples at Pickrick Flats that showed surface oil and other chemicals. “Apparently, they have to retake them though because the lab got some things mixed up on the exact locations,” he said, and added the lab will absorb the cost of the retest so the grant will not be charged extra. Officials said further sampling and follow-up will occur as part of the Brownfield study and that the county expects additional meetings to review data and planning.
