Our economy depends upon fuel and chemicals – but sometimes, they spill. Semis crash, trains derail and pipes break.
Whenever there’s a toxic mess, we have to clean it up.
Now there’s an easy way for citizens to find out where cleanup projects are taking place in their neighborhood, or anywhere in the state.

You can also find projects listed by county here.
Most of the funding for these cleanup efforts comes from a dedicated fund nicknamed MOTCA, which is short for the Model Toxics Control Act.
