HENNEPIN PAPER COMPANY
LITTLE FALLS, MINNESOTA
CLEANUP
PROJECT SUMMARY
|
|
Landmark specializes in assessment and remediation of contaminated
properties, and helping our clients apply for funding to do the work. Landmark helped the City of Little Falls clean up a
10-acre property on the Mississippi River — the site of an abandoned paper mill — for redevelopment as a public park. Hennepin
Paper Company operated for over 100 years, resulting in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and petroleum contamination in soil.

Landmark wrote two U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Brownfield grant applications, an EPA revolving loan application, and two MN Department of Employment and Economic Development
grant applications. All applications were successful and the $1,800,000 awarded was used to demolish the mill buildings, and
to remediate the property and redevelop it into a public park with picnic areas and recreational trails.

|
Landmark designed the cleanup, prepared contract documents and
provided oversight for this $2.3 million project. The design included asbestos and lead paint abatement, tank waste removal,
building demolition, soil cleanup, and park redevelopment. Landmark participated in a review of the applicability of Section
106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The review identified mill artifacts with historical significance — such as
brick arches and stone foundation walls — that were preserved and remain in the public park.
