              EPA  s  Brownfields Program
   Supplemental Assistance  for Assessment
            Demonstration Pilots  -  FY2002
                                  Introduction

As a part of the Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) Brownfields Economic Redevelopment
Initiative, the Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilots are designed to empower States,
communities, tribes, and other stakeholders in economic redevelopment to work together in a timely
manner to prevent, assess, and safely cleanup brownfields to promote their sustainable reuse. EPA has
awarded cooperative agreements to States, cities, towns, counties, and Tribes for demonstration pilots
that test brownfields assessment models and facilitate coordinated public and private efforts at the
Federal, State, tribal and local levels. To date, the Agency has funded 399 Brownfields Assessment
Pilots.

Assessment pilot communities that have received EPA funding on or before
September 30, 2000, may apply for supplemental funding during FY 2002. Pilots funded after
that date will be eligible to apply for supplemental funding during FY2003, dependent upon
appropriation of those funds.  Recipients of supplemental assessment pilot funding in FY2001 are
not eligible to apply.

The deadline for proposals for the supplemental assessment pilot funding is November 26, 2001.
 All proposals must be postmarked by USPS or delivered at U.S. EPA Headquarters by other means, no later
than November 26, 2001, and a duplicate copy sent to the appropriate U.S. EPA Regional Office.
                            EPA s Brownfields Initiative

EPA defines brownfields as abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial and commercial facilities where
expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. EPA s
Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative is an organized commitment to help communities
revitalize such properties by addressing potential health risks, and, as a result, restoring economic
vitality to areas where brownfields exist.  Experience gained from the brownfields assessment pilots,
along with partnerships and outreach activities, is providing a growing knowledge base to help direct
EPA s Brownfields Initiative. Successful brownfields redevelopment is proof that economic
development and the environment can, and indeed, must co-exist.

EPA s efforts under the Brownfields Initiative can be grouped into four broad and overlapping
categories:


.^Providing grants for brownfields pilot projects;

-------
*D Clarifying liability and cleanup issues;
*DBuilding partnerships and outreach among federal agencies, states, tribes, municipalities,
  communities, and other entities; and
*DFostering local job development and training initiatives.

The brownfields assessment pilots are a key component of the program, bringing together community
groups, investors, lenders, developers, and other affected parties to address the issue of cleaning up
sites contaminated with hazardous substances and preparing them for appropriate, productive use.  The
pilots serve as vehicles to explore a series of models for states and localities struggling with such
efforts.

In fiscal year 2002 (FY02), EPA has determined that assessment pilots awarded on or before
September 30, 2000, may apply for up to $150,000 for continuance and expansion of their brownfields
assessment efforts.  This  supplemental funding will be awarded on a competitive basis.

An  additional $50,000 may be awarded to an applicant to carry out assessment activities at a
brownfields site(s) that is or will be used for greenspace purposes.  Greenspace purposes may include,
but are not limited to, parks, playgrounds, trails, gardens, habitat restoration, open space, and/or
greenspace preservation.  This $50,000 is available only in addition to the $150,000 that is available to
continue and  expand on existing pilot efforts. Please refer to Part II of the Evaluation Criteria section.
Note that use of the additional $50,000 must be in accordance with the authorities and guidelines
described below.

These pilots focus  on EPA s primary mission   protecting human health and the environment.
However, it is an essential piece of the nation s overall community revitalization efforts. EPA works
closely with other federal agencies through the  Interagency Working Group on Brownfields and builds
relationships  with other stakeholders on the national, tribal, and local levels to develop coordinated
approaches for community revitalization.

-------
            Guidelines  for the Preparation of
                                   Proposals
Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 66.811.  Supplemental funding for the brownfields
assessment pilots is authorized under Section 104(d)(l) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, (CERCLA or Superfund), 42 U.S.C.
9604(d)(l). States (including U.S. Territories), political subdivisions (including cities, towns,
counties), and Federally recognized Indian Tribes which received a brownfields assessment pilot grant
on or before September 30, 2000, are eligible to apply.  Recipients of supplemental assessment pilot
funding in FY2001  are not eligible to apply.

Through a brownfields cooperative agreement, EPA authorizes an eligible state, political subdivision,
or Indian Tribe to undertake activities authorized under CERCLA section 104. Use of these
supplemental assistance pilot funds must be in accordance with CERCLA, and all CERCLA
restrictions on use of funds also apply to the assessment pilots. By awarding a cooperative agreement,
EPA anticipates substantial involvement in the pilot activities. Brownfields demonstration pilot
proposals for supplemental funding (including greenspace funding) should conform to the following
guidelines:

*DPilot activities must be directed toward environmental response activities preliminary to cleanup,
  such as  site assessment, site identification, site characterization, and site response or cleanup
  planning and design.  Site identification in this case means the identification of sites at which such
  contamination may be an issue of concern.

*DBrownfields assessment pilot funds may be used to assess, identify, characterize, and plan response
  activities at contaminated sites targeted for redevelopment. These funds may not be used to pay for
  development activities that are not CERCLA response  activities (e.g., construction of a new facility,
  purchase of property).

*DBrownfields assessment pilot funds may be used for planning  and/or studies regarding legal, fiscal,
  economic and other issues,  so long as such plans and studies are necessary and appropriate to
  planning and directing an assessment or cleanup action.

*DBrownfields assessment pilot funds may only be used at sites where there is release, or substantial
  threat of release, of a CERCLA hazardous substance, or there  is a release, or substantial threat of
  release of a pollutant or contaminant which may present an imminent and substantial danger to the
  public health or welfare.  In addition, funds may be used at sites where there is a reason to believe
  that a release has occurred or is about to occur (e.g. based on past historical uses).

*DBrownfields assessment pilot funds may be used for public/community involvement activities to
  explain site selection, assessment, characterization, or cleanup planning activities at a site or set of

-------
  sites.  These activities should be directed toward obtaining more effective public involvement in
  decisions regarding environmental assessment and cleanup at such sites. These funds may not be
  used for general education activities (e.g., grants to schools for development of curriculum).

tDBrownfields assessment pilot funds may not be used for activities at any sites listed or proposed to
  be listed on CERCLA s National Priorities List, base realignment and closure (BRAC) sites, or any
  areas undergoing cleanup under RCRA corrective action authorities.  If there are any other federal
  or state enforcement actions in place at a site proposed to be included in this pilot project, please
  describe (in the Work To Be Performed section) the enforcement action, its environmental response
  requirements, and how the brownfields project would supplement the environmental work required.

tDBrownfields assessment pilot funds may not be used for actual cleanup or other response activities
  associated with such cleanups (e.g., landscaping and ground-water extraction and treatment).  Site
  cleanups should be carried out through other means, such as state voluntary cleanup programs, state
  government grants, state tax incentive programs, tribal funds, contributions from responsible parties,
  developers, or a loan from a federally funded revolving loan fund.

tDBrownfields assessment pilot funds may not be used for job training of community members.
  Support for job training activities may be available through the Hazardous Material Training and
  Research Institute, EPA programs, other federal agency programs, and state, local,  and tribal
  programs. However, specific training related to tasks to be conducted by the applicant under the
  grant are allowable (e.g., database training of grant personnel to create a site inventory would be
  allowable).

tD Brownfields assessment pilot funds may not be used to support  lobbying  efforts of the grantee
  (e.g., lobbying members of Congress, or lobbying for other federal grants, cooperative agreements,
  or contracts).  Federal grant funds may not be used for fund-raising purposes.

tD Brownfields assessment pilot funds may not be used for assessment, identification, characterization,
  or cleanup planning at sites contaminated by petroleum products, unless they are believed to be co-
  mingled with a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant (e.g., used oil).

tDBrownfields assessment pilot funds may not be used to address, identify, characterize, or plan for
  the cleanup of products that are part of the structure of and result in exposure within residential
  buildings or business or community structures (e.g., interior lead-based paint or asbestos which
  results in indoor exposure).

tD Brownfields assessment pilot funds may not be used to match any other federal funds without
  specific statutory authority.


                 Evaluation of the Proposals
                                            4

-------
The Brownfields Supplemental Assistance for Assessment Pilots are administered on a competitive
basis. To ensure a fair selection process, EPA Regional and Headquarters staff will evaluate the
proposals. The evaluators will assess how well the proposals meet the selection criteria outlined
below.   The evaluation panels make recommendations to EPA senior management.  Final award decisions
are made by EPA senior management, and may take into account policy considerations such as geographic
distribution of funds.

Proposals must be clear and concise, strictly follow the criteria, and provide sufficient detail for the
panels to compare the merits of each and decide which proposal best supports the intent of the pilot
program. Vague descriptions and unnecessary redundancy may reduce the chance of a favorable
rating. Proposals providing the best evidence of a true need, a quality project, appropriate use of
funds and demonstrated success under the original brownfields pilot project will have the best chance
of being recommended  by the panels. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact and, if
possible, meet with their EPA Regional Brownfields Representative prior to submission of the
proposal (see contact list on page 15).

The evaluators will review the proposal for Brownfields Supplemental Assistance and for the
additional greenspace funding.  The evaluators will make recommendations to EPA Senior
Management for final selection. Note that an applicant may be selected to receive Brownfields
Supplemental Assistance  of up to $150,000 even if the applicant is not selected to receive the
additional $50,000 for greenspace.

If a proposal is selected, applicants will receive a confirmation letter, and the appropriate EPA
Regional Brownfields Coordinator and Regional Grants Specialist will be informed. The applicant
will then be  asked to submit a formal cooperative agreement amendment or application package. This
package will include a formal work plan that provides a project overview (goals and objectives),
describes the work/tasks to be performed, a final budget, deliverables (i.e., quarterly progress reports,
etc.), and the required certification forms.  If work done under this cooperative agreement includes
environmental sampling,  a Quality Assurance Project Plan must be submitted and approved by EPA
prior to  performing the  sampling work.  The work plan submitted as part of the proposal will be the
basis for the formal work  plan submittal and should substantially reflect the work to be performed. The
EPA Regional Brownfields Coordinator and Regional Grants Specialist will work closely with the
successful applicant to process and finalize the cooperative agreement amendment or cooperative
agreement package. EPA reserves the right to reject all proposals and make no awards.

EPA strongly encourages  pilot proposal applicants to contact their State Intergovernmental Review
Office early so that the  required intergovernmental review process may begin immediately upon
selection by EPA. If the State does not have an Intergovernmental Review Office, the successful
applicant must provide  notice of the proposed agreement directly to affected State, area-wide, regional,
and local entities. EPA will provide  further guidance, if needed.

Applicants with proposals that are not selected will be informed in writing.  These applicants may
choose to revise the proposal for submittal by a future deadline announced by EPA at a later date.

-------
                    Structure  of the  Proposal
Proposals for brownfields pilot projects should consist of the following sections:

* D Cover page /proj ect summary                    [ 1 page]
*D Responses to Evaluation Criteria
         Part I, #1-3 (required)                    [up to 3 pages]
         Part I, #4 (required)                      [3-5 pages suggested]
         Part II (optional)                        [2 pages]
*D Attachments                                   [provide a list;
                                                 see below for acceptable items]

Attachments should be kept to a minimum. Attachments that are most important to EPA during
proposal evaluation are commitment, support, or partnership from other government or private entities
and maps of the project area. Examples of attachments that EPA will give little weight to during
proposal evaluation include reports, strategies or plans developed for other programs, advertising
brochures, newspaper articles,  statutes, and videotapes.  Information in these types of attachments
should be distilled and incorporated into the responses to criteria.

To ensure fair and equitable evaluation of the proposals, please do not exceed the above, single-sided
page limitations. There is no guarantee that pages submitted beyond the limitations will be reviewed by
the evaluation panels and doing so could reduce your chances of a favorable rating. In addition, all
materials included in the proposal (including attachments)  must be printed on letter-sized paper (8%" by
11") and font sizes may be no smaller than 11 points. Please submit two copies of your proposal
materials, including attachments, to EPA headquarters. In addition, please submit one copy of your
proposal including attachments, to your EPA Regional Brownfields Representative (see list on page
15).

Applicants should clearly mark information they consider confidential. EPA will make final
confidentiality decisions in accordance with Agency regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 2, Subpart B.

                              Cover Page/Project Summary

The cover page is intended to identify the brownfields pilot applicant and a point of contact for
communication with EPA.  This should be on a single page and include basic information such as:

                Project title
                Project contact, phone, email address and fax.
                Date Submitted (when the proposal is postmarked or sent to EPA via registered or tracked mail).
                Project period (the project period must not exceed two years).
                Project summary.

-------
      Evaluation Criteria  - Part  I (Required)
Your response to each of the following criteria will be the primary basis on which EPA selects or
rejects your proposal for supplemental assistance. The proposal evaluation panels will review the
proposals carefully and assess each response based on how well it addresses each criterion. Applicants
should address all of the evaluation criteria. Responses to the evaluation criteria will be utilized to determine
whether to make an award and the amount of funds to be awarded. All evaluation criteria are equally
important. There is no guarantee of an award. If a particular criteria is not relevant to your proposal,
please acknowledge and explain why it does not apply.
                         1. Established Brownfields Program
The purpose of this section is to show commitment and accomplishments from the city, county, tribe,
and/or state to the cooperative agreement recipient s Brownfields Program.  This section should
describe how the overall governing body where the Brownfields program is housed has committed to
the overall success of the program.

*D    Describe the Brownfields program in your community (e.g. State, city, Council of Government,
      County, etc.) including overall program strategy, local Brownfields policy development, lead
      office for brownfields work, other offices that are involved in the Brownfields process,
      designated staff, roles of the various governmental departments, and funding sources.

*D    Provide examples of commitments that the local governing agency has made to continuing a
      successful brownfields  program. This may include a description of staff or offices dedicated
      specifically to the Brownfields program and/or additional funding to supplement original EPA
      grant funds.  Describe what your Brownfields program has done to streamline governmental
      processes to promote redevelopment of brownfields sites.

*D    Discuss any success and accomplishments that were funded outside of the Brownfields
      Demonstration Pilot funding. For instance, has your community funded community
      involvement and/or environmental justice activities, Phase I/ Phase III Phase III site assessment
      work, environmental cleanup, or redevelopment with its own money or sought assistance from
      other sources (i.e. the state, other Federal agencies, private entities, or non-profit organizations?)
         2. Accomplishments under Existing Brownfields Assessment Pilot

-------
The purpose of this section is to show demonstrated performance under the existing brownfields
assessment pilot.  This section should describe progress made toward meeting the original goals of the
brownfields pilot project and specific accomplishments. The focus of this section are activities that
were funded by EPA.

*D    Describe brownfields activities that have been completed under the brownfields pilot project
       that were funded by EPA. This may include progress made in site inventory, site assessment,
       cleanup design and site reuse planning that was done to facilitate cleanup decisions.

*D    Describe progress made toward community involvement and environmental justice
       commitments that were made under the original pilot workplan. This may also include an
       update on  state, federal, tribal, local government, community and private partnerships.

*D    The applicant may also provide quantitative information on specific measures of success for
       work funded by EPA This may include items such as: number of sites identified, number of site
       assessments completed, number of sites that have been redeveloped in the project area, and
       economic indicators of success (e.g., jobs created, etc.).  EPA will evaluate this information
       against data submitted by the existing assessment pilot in the quarterly reports.

       3. Demonstrated Ability to Administer Existing Brownfields Assessment
                                   Demonstration Pilot
Applicants must demonstrate that they have effectively administered their existing Brownfields
Assessment Demonstration Pilot to be selected for supplemental funding. Each applicant will be
evaluated on:  1) their adherence to the executed cooperative agreement and subsequent amendments,
including the timeliness and accuracy of deliverables and reporting requirements, 2) adherence with
the agreed upon schedule for project activities, and 3) the use of the previously provided assessment
pilot funds.

*D    Describe your performance with respect to meeting the administrative requirements of your
       existing brownfields assessment demonstration pilot cooperative agreement. At a minimum,
       please describe:

       a) the budget status including how much of the pilot funding has been spent, a summary of how
       the money has been spent, and how the remaining funds will be spent;

       b) whether the required deliverables (including quarterly progress reports, quality assurance
       plans, financial status reports, final project reports, or other applicable deliverables) have been
       submitted to EPA; and

       c) whether the assessment pilot proceeded as agreed upon in the cooperative agreement
       schedule. If not, please provide an explanation for the delays and their impacts on the pilot
       project.

-------
                                 4. Work to be Performed
This section will describe the work to be performed using the Supplemental Assistance funds. If this
proposal is selected for funding, you will be asked to adapt and resubmit this section as a cooperative
workplan or amendment. Therefore, pilots should make every effort to utilize the structure in their
original cooperative agreement workplan.

*D    Introduction - Provide a general discussion of the project and new site(s) in the project area and
       the problems and needs associated with redevelopment. Explain the goals and objectives of the
       supplemental project. Discuss flow of ownership of each identified site.

*D    Management and Coordination - Identify the management structure responsible for coordinating
       the execution of the tasks that comprise the pilot program. Identify the project coordinator and
       all the other specific position titles such as environmental consultants, interns, and others that
       will charge time to the pilot. Identify project partners (e.g., state, other federal agencies.) Any
       anticipated changes to the current management structure should be clearly identified.

       In addition to the tasks identified, the pilot recipient will continue to be responsible for
       preparing quarterly reports on the progress of the work plan, including reporting on
       accomplishments, and a final summary report.

*D    Tasks and Schedule - Describe tasks that will be performed, a schedule of planned activities and
       a list of deliverables that will be submitted to EPA upon completion of each task. This could
       include tasks such as: site identification and inventory, site assessment and planning,
       identification of cleanup  options,  and community outreach/public involvement.  Where several
       tasks are identified, a chart showing activity, schedule, and deliverables should be included.  In
       the box below is an example of a suggested format for this chart. When environmental
       sampling is identified as a task, a site-specific sampling plan must be developed, along with a
       Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP),  and  a site-specific health and safety plan.  NOTE:
       Tasks for which an applicant is seeking the additional $50,000 for greenspace should be
       included in the response to Part II.

Budget - Provide a detailed budget of anticipated expenditures of U.S. EPA cooperative
agreement dollars according to task. The budget should show the distribution of the
demonstration pilot funds, including cost estimates for each of the proposed pilot activities.  A
clear and concise budget is a critical element of the package. If you are applying for the
additional $50,000 for greenspace, please provide a separate budget for the $50,000 in your
response to Part II.

A significant portion of the budget should be for site-specific activities (e.g., site assessment
and cleanup planning), while administrative costs should be kept to a minimum In
cases where site-specific activities are not planned, the applicant must clearly explain why this
project does not incorporate site-specific activities and provide a detailed project plan and
budget for the other planned tasks.  Although these are estimated costs, the logic that was used
to estimate these costs must be included in the budget write-up.

Evaluation Criteria (Part II  — Optional)
                                     5.  Greenspace
 Those proposals selected to receive up to $150,000 may also be selected to receive $50,000. An
 additional $50,000 may be awarded to an applicant to carry out assessment activities for a brownfields
 site(s) that is or will be used for greenspace purposes. Greenspace purposes include, but are not
 limited to, parks, playgrounds, trails, gardens, habitat restoration, open space, and/or greenspace
preservation.  This $50,000 is available only in addition to the $150,000 that is available to continue
 and expand on existing pilot efforts.

 As with all other Assessment Demonstration Pilot funds, the greenspace funding may be used for
 assessment activities, such as site investigation, site characterization, planning for reuse, so as to
facilitate cleanup decisions, other cleanup planning activities, and community involvement related to
 the site.  Use of the greenspace funds must be in accordance with CERCLA, and all CERCLA
 restrictions and assessment program guidelines also apply to greenspace funds.

 This is an optional portion of the assessment pilot proposal. All proposals will be reviewed based on
 Part I, Evaluation Criteria #1-4.  The projects that are selected that include a request for greenspace
funding will be further evaluated on Part II, Evaluation Criteria #5. Based on this evaluation, some,
 but not all, greenspace proposals are likely to be funded.

 An applicant may still be selected to receive a Brownfields Supplemental Assistance Assessment
 Demonstration pilot grant of up to $150,000 even if the applicant is  not selected to receive the
 additional $50,000 for greenspace.

 Authority and Context

 *D    Describe the local agency(ies) responsible for greenspace and explain the partnership with the
      pilot lead office. Attach letters of support documenting partnership.

 *D    Describe existing open space/greenspace plans, activities, and resource needs with respect to
      brownfields redevelopment in your community. Explain if this site is near, on, or adjacent to
       any brownfields sites described in Part I of your proposal or to the  sites in your initial
      brownfields pilot project funded by EPA.  Describe public and private commitment to this
       greenspace project.  Describe the potential impact on the surrounding community.
 Community Involvement
                                            12

-------
*D     Describe community involvement efforts planned or underway near the site(s). Describe
       environmental justice considerations, measures to involve environmental justice populations,
       and anticipated benefits to low income and/or people of color communities disproportionately
       burdened by environmental pollution.  Describe how affected communities were involved in the
       selection of the site(s), and how they will be involved in future land use decisions.

Site Identification, Site Assessment Plan, Flow of Ownership, and Reuse Planning

*D     Identify the specific site(s) you plan to assess and describe the process for selecting the site(s).
       Describe the site(s) and the brownfields issues associated with the site(s).

*D     Describe the site assessment activities that will be conducted on your site(s). Please be sure to
       differentiate these activities from any greenspace activities proposed in Part I. If your project
       involves more than one site, describe the activities for each site and the number of sites
       undergoing the various phases of site assessment. Identify additional potential site assessment
       funding sources.

*D     Describe site control, acquisition, and flow of ownership.

*D     Describe the proposed end use of the site(s) being assessed and the anticipated benefits to the
       community. Provide a brief summary of any feasibility studies, if available.

*D     Describe potential funding sources and public/private partners that will be involved in the
       cleanup, redevelopment, and maintenance of the site.

*D     Describe work to be performed, a schedule of planned activities and a list of deliverables that
       will be submitted to EPA upon completion of each task. Where several tasks are identified, a
       chart showing activity, schedule, and deliverables should be included. Please refer to page 10
