. Upper Landing- St. Paul The Upper Landing is a 21-acre historic plot of riverfront property located on the edge of St. Paul's downtown core. Through the vision and hard work of a multi- faceted project team, an urban village, the Upper Landing, is taking shape in what was once one of the most contaminated brownfield sites in the State of Minnesota, The $170 million project is the largest development project in the city of St. Paul's history, and represents a unique collaboration of public and private redevelopment efforts. The project involved reclaiming and redeveloping a site (including 2,500 lineal feet of Mississippi River shoreline) that had been largely vacant, frequently flooded, undeniably underutilized, and on the Minnesota's State Superfund list for almost 15 years, Through the summer and fall of 200 1, remediation of over 100,000 tons of soil at the site was conducted to undo many decades-worth of indu:sllial abuse. Site elevations were raised to protect the site against seasonal flooding events. The end result will be the realization of the vision of the St, Paul community to reintegrate and reconnect with a valued, historical resource, and to establish an urban village. Sawmill Run - Minneapolis The Minneapolis Community Development Agency (MCDA) received the state's fIrst partial Certificate of Completion under the Minnesota Land Recycling Act on May 18,1994, for the cleanup of the 18-acre Sawmill Run property.

More than 23,000 tons of contammated soIl and 40 barrels of paint and soIvents were excavated and removed from the property. The cleanup action also included the recovery of petroleum floating on the water table and ground-water monitoring to assure that contamination levels decreased and did not affect the Mississippi River.
