The site is located at 700 N. Adams St. and is immediately east of the WPSC offices. The property is about 4 acres in size, while the entire area that is owned by WPSC covers about 13 acres. There is also about 1 acre of contaminated sediment found in an adjacent stretch of the Lower Fox River. The site is on the south bank of the East River near the confluence of the Lower Fox River. There is a river trail located adjacent to the Lower Fox River/East Green Bay riverwalk River Shoreline. Plans for investigation of sediment, groundwater and soil at six MGP sites began after the EPA Site Background and WPSC signed a legal agreement, called a consent order, in May 2006. This agreement History allows for further investigation of the WPSC The Green Bay Gas Light Co. previously site to determine how much contamination owned the former Green Bay MGP and began remains there.

Contaminants The MGP property was used to convert coal and In the process of converting coal and oil into other oil-based substances into gas for heating gas, MGPs generated waste.

These processes continued until the wastes included tars, sludges, and light oils, and late 1940s when natural gas became more readily residues containing oily substances, chemicals, available through pipelines.

In 2003, the EPA conducted in 2017, which will describe any contamination a cleanup that included excavation, thermal found in the area. treatment, and removal of about 26,000 tons of highly contaminated soil. Since then, groundwater monitoring occurs twice a year. Annual inspection of the cleaned up area (the parking lot) shows that the site remains safe for employees and visitors to the WPSC office building. WPSC Office 4 COMMUNITY NEEDS AND CONCERNS This section focuses on the concerns and needs the EPA heard from community members about the site. Summary of Community Interviews In January 2015, the EPA met with nine local officials, neighborhood organizations and business owners to ask them about the site. Although these people were not overly concerned, the following summary provides the answers given during the community interviews. 1 Where do you live in relation to the WPSC Green WPSC Office Bay site?

  • Collecting Lombardi's Dominating Packers
    Collecting Lombardi’s Dominating Packers BY DAVID LEE ince Lombardi called Lambeau Field his “pride and joy.” Specifically, the ground itself—the grass and the dirt. V He loved that field because it was his. He controlled everything that happened there. It was the home where Lombardi built one of the greatest sports dynasties of all-time. Fittingly, Lambeau Field was the setting for the 1967 NFL Champion- ship, famously dubbed “The Ice Bowl” before the game even started. Tem- peratures plummeting to 12 degrees below zero blasted Lombardi’s field. Despite his best efforts using an elaborate underground heating system to keep it from freezing, the field provided the perfect rock-hard setting to cap Green Bay’s decade of dominance—a franchise that bullied the NFL for nine seasons. The messy game came down to a goal line play of inches with 16 seconds left, the Packers trailing the Cowboys 17-14. Running backs were slipping on the ice, and time was running out. So, quarterback Bart Starr called his last timeout, and ran to the sideline to tell Lombardi he wanted to run it in himself. It was a risky all-in gamble on third down. “Well then run it, and let’s get the hell out of here,” Starr said Lom- bardi told him. The famous lunge into the endzone gave the Packers their third-straight NFL title (their fifth in the decade) and a second-straight trip to the Super Bowl to face the AFL’s best. It was the end of Lombardi’s historic run as Green Bay’s coach.

  • What the Packers Do to Keep Lambeau Field Special
    What The Packers Do To Keep Lambeau Field Special Source: www.TurfMagazine.com Look, but don’t touch the grass! You’ll not see a more attractive sward of Kentucky bluegrass anywhere. That it remains as lovely, green and weed-free even through the first months of winter in frigid Wisconsin is incredible. Even more remarkable, it gets an incredible amount of punishment. I’m referring to the playing field at Lambeau Stadium in Green Bay, of course. Whether you maintain grass in a busy park, on a college campus or on sports fields, you can appreciate the maxim – “Grass Grows by the Inch, But Dies by the Foot.” In this case, by the feet of 300-pound football players. “Don’t touch that grass,” Grant, our tour guide and a life-long season ticket holder, warned sternly as we came out of the tunnel from the Packers locker room. “If everybody who came here took a bit of the field we wouldn’t have any field left by the end of the season.” A small group of us green industry journalists got to check out the field thanks to Grant, our drill-sergeant gruff but also entertaining guide, and the generosity of The Ariens Company, headquartered in nearby Brillion, Wisconsin. There are a lot of things you can do at Lambeau Field — dine in a high-end restaurant, book parties and corporate events, visit the Green Bay Packers Museum, the Packers Pro Shop or do a Field Tour as we did. But, in the end, the thousands of people that come to historic Lambeau Field want to see its beautiful playing field.

    State and federal representatives to support Appvion at U.S. International Trade Commission hearing Commission to decide whether to extend antidumping and countervailing duty orders on lightweight thermal paper from China and Germany (Appleton, Wis., October 29, 2014) A group of 14 U.S. senators, representatives and governors from five states will provide testimony and written statements on behalf of Appvion, Inc. for a key hearing at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) on October 30 in Washington, D.C. The ITC hearing is being held in advance of a ruling on whether or not to extend the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of lightweight thermal paper from China and Germany. The ITC is scheduled to vote on the matter on December 17. Strong support from elected officials Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin Representatives Reid Ribble and Tom Petri, and Ohio Representative Michael Turner will deliver testimony on behalf of Appvion at the hearing. Ohio Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman; Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey; Wisconsin Representative Ron Kind; Pennsylvania Representative Bill Shuster; Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker; and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett will submit statements to the ITC supporting Appvion. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell; Kentucky Representative Brett Guthrie; and Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear will also submit statements in support of Appvion and its base paper supplier Domtar Corporation. Appvion chief executive officer, Mark Richards, and other Appvion executives will testify that the dumped and subsidized imports of lightweight thermal paper from China and Germany will continue to harm lightweight thermal paper producers in the U.S., and as a result corrective duties imposed on the foreign imports should remain in place.
