EPA Brownfields Program

EPA's Brownfields Program empowers states.
communities, and other stakeholders to work together to
prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse
brownfields. A brownfield site is real property, the
expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be
complicated by the presence or potential presence of a
hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In 2002,
the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields
Revitalization Act was passed to help states and
communities around the country cleanup and revitalize
brownfields sites. Under this law, EPA  provides financial
assistance to eligible applicants through four competitive
grant programs: assessment grants, revolving loan fund
grants, cleanup grants, and job training  grants.
Additionally, funding support is provided to state and
tribal response programs through a separate mechanism.

                    Cleanup Grants

                    $400,000 for petroleum

                    EPA has selected the Philadelphia Authority for
                    Industrial Development for two brownfields
                    cleanup grants. Petroleum grant funds will be used
                    to clean up the 18.5-acre Transmontaigne property
                    at 2751 S. 58th Street and 5736 Eastwick Avenue
                    and the nine-acre U.S. Gypsum property at 3000
                    S. 56th Street, both of which are located in the
                    Lower Schuylkill River District. The
                    Transmontaigne property was used for bulk
                    storage of petroleum products, and as a heating oil
                    refinery. It contains as many as 32 aboveground
                    storage tanks and five underground storage tanks,
                    and is contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons.
                    The U.S. Gypsum property was used previously as
                    bulk petroleum, gypsum manufacturing, and
                    concrete mixing facilities. It contains three
                    aboveground storage tanks and is contaminated
                    with petroleum products. Grant funds at both sites
                    also will be used to conduct community outreach
                    activities.

                    Revolving Loan Fund Grant

                    $1,000,000 for petroleum

                    EPA has selected the Philadelphia Authority for
                    Industrial Development for a brownfields
                    revolving loan fund grant. The grant will be used
                    to capitalize a revolving loan fund from which the
                    Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development
                    will provide two loans and two subgrants to
                    support cleanup activities for sites contaminated
                    with petroleum. Grant activities will focus on the
                    Lower Schuylkill River District.
