Acme Power Plant Reclamation Project

As part of the Acme Power Plant Reclamation effort, the Sheridan County Conservation District assumed ownership of the 5-acre site. As a legal entity, the District is eligible to participate in federal and state programs to address contamination at the site.

Through the Targeted Brownfields Assessment Program, contractors for the USEPA completed initial Environmental Assessments (Phase 1 and Phase 2) for the Acme Power Plant site. Initial assessments confirm land impacted by hazardous substances and petroleum hydrocarbons, multiple areas of drums with unknown substances, and abandoned buildings with asbestos and lead-based paint.
