Campmarina Dredging by WPSC

The Sheboygan River and Harbor Site and the Wisconsin Public Service Corporation Campmarina Manufactured Gas Plant Site are being cleaned up under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund program. The EPA is also using Great Lakes Legacy Act funds to clean up additional areas in the Sheboygan River that are outside the jurisdiction of the Superfund program. The Legacy Act is designed to tackle the problem of “legacy” sediment contamination. At least 35 percent of Legacy Act project costs must come from state, local or private sponsors. At the Sheboygan sites, the non-federal funds are coming from Wisconsin DNR, city of Sheboygan, Sheboygan County and WPSC. Superfund cleanup work may be counted toward the nonfederal cost share for the Legacy Act cleanup.
