May 14, 2009
In September 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded Sullivan County a $300,000 Brownfield Site-Specific Hazardous Substance Assessment Grant. Sullivan County is using this grant to assess environmental conditions and promote site redevelopment of the former Davis Pipe Company property at 250 Birch Street in Blountville. The term of the assessment grant is for three years. First Tennessee Development District is administering the grant on behalf of Sullivan County. The County selected Hart & Hickman as its Brownfield environmental consultant to manage daily grant activities.
