CHATHAM, Va. â The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of its Brownfields Program announced Tuesday it has awarded $1.2 million in grants to three Virginia localities. Pittsylvania County is one of those localities, and will receive half of that money, totaling $600,000 for projects in the county and all three of its incorporated towns.
A brownfield is a property contaminated with hazardous pollutants or contaminants to the extent that expansion, redevelopment or reuse of the property is dangerous and impractical. Grants awarded provide communities across the country with the ability to transform contaminated sites into community assets that attract jobs while taking advantage of existing infrastructure, said Diana Esher, EPA Region 3 division director, at a Wednesday afternoon meeting. They bring hope to underserved communities.
EPA Evaluates Plan To Reduce Bay Pollutants No Longer Contained By Conowingo Reservoir
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has completed its evaluation of a draft plan to compensate for more than 6 million pounds of Chesapeake Bay pollutants no longer being trapped in a reservoir behind the Conowingo Dam.
EPA’s evaluation of the draft Conowingo Watershed Implementation Plan (CWIP) is available on the Bay TMDL website, www.epa.gov/chesapeake-bay-tmdl.
The evaluation commends the drafters of the CWIP, while raising concerns over distinguishing CWIP restoration actions from others already pledged, as well as the need for dedicated funding mechanisms and public sector financial commitments for the additional work. The evaluation also recognizes that the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership has not yet decided on the target end date for implementation of the CWIP.

Pennsylvania s robust natural gas industry has been embarrassed by three environmental scandals in 15 months. Among the fallout: temporarily closed pipelines, the state s largest environmental fine, the elimination of streams, and the illegal burial or alteration of parts of 163 wetlands.
In one case, Texas gas company Range Resources was found to have classified spent gas wells as temporarily inactive, rather than closed, thus avoiding a requirement to plug the wells to prevent leaks of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

In another case, Chesapeake Appalachia, an arm of Chesapeake Energy and one of the largest fracking gas companies in Pennsylvania, signed a consent agreement March 24 with the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
