By the end of the 1970s, virtually all of these facilities had closed, leaving behind abandoned buildings, which fell into decay, blighting substantial areas of the community</I></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><IMG SRC="12a68e10.jpg" border=0 width="360" height="225" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> Many of these properties were contaminated by hazardous wastes as a result of their former operations. Some are situated in what are now residential areas, posing potential health risks to residents.  To return these properties to productive use and revitalize the communities, as well as eliminate health concerns, the EPA selected Norwich to receive a Brownfields Demonstration Pilot Grant. </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF WIDTH="386"><div> The proposed use of the  $200,000 grant was to conduct environmental assessments of four major abandoned or underutilized mill properties and to outline strategies and costs for cleanup and redevelopment. </div> <bR> <div> The ultimate goal of the project is to promote redevelopment of the properties by removing uncertainties regarding contamination.  Norwich selected us to complete the environmental assessments on the city's behalf. </div> <bR> <div> Work involved completion of Phase I, II and III investigations and Remedial Action Plans for several sites.
