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.

                     $200,000 for hazardous substances
                     $400,000 for petroleum

                     EPA has selected the Redevelopment Authority of
                     the City of Milwaukee (RACM) for three
                     brownfields cleanup grants. Hazardous substances
                     grant funds will be used to clean up the Esser Paint
                     site at 1542-46 North 32nd Street and 3131 West
                     Galena Street. The site is part of a former paint
                     and stained glass manufacturing complex that has
                     been vacant since 1999. It is contaminated with
                     heavy metals, volatile organic compounds,
                     polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and inorganic
                     contaminants. Grant funds also  will be used to
                     support cleanup planning and community
                     involvement activities. Petroleum grant funds will
                     be used to clean up the Century City - Area B and
                     Area C sites located at 2725 West Hopkins Street.
                     Historically, these two adjacent parcels were home
                     to manufacturing facilities that produced auto
                     frames, military equipment, and electric motors.
                     They are contaminated with petroleum products.
                     Grant funds also will be used to support cleanup
                     planning and community involvement activities.
