WASHINGTON, DC — Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter today announced that the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) will receive $1,800,000 for a Revolving Loan Fund to assist funding cleanup planning and remediation activities.  These activities will promote redevelopment of the funded sites and future reuse of property that does not pose a threat to human health and the environment.  This funding is provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and is made possible by the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
