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.

                     $600,000 for hazardous substances

                     EPA has selected the City of Somerville for three
                     brownfields cleanup grants. Hazardous substances
                     grant funds will be used to clean up three parcels
                     at the former Kiley Barrel property: Parcel
                     82-D-36 at 8 Bennett Street, Parcel 82-D-4 at 10
                     Milk Place, and Parcel 82-D-2 at 264-266
                     Somerville Avenue. The property was used for
                     barrel storage, cleaning, refmishing, and resale
                     operations from the late 1920s through 1989. The
                     parcels are contaminated with heavy metals,
                     PCBs, and volatile organic compounds. Grant
                     funds also will be  used to conduct community
                     involvement activities.
