                      EPA has selected the City of Lewiston for a
                      brownfields cleanup grant. Grant funds will be
                      used for cleanup activities, including removal and
                      off-site disposal of soil, flooring, and other
                      materials, at the W.S. Libbey Mill site at 6 Mill
                      Street. Over the mill's 220-year operating history,
                      a variety of industrial processes contributed to the
                      contamination at the site.
