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 Grant

                    $200,000 for petroleum

                    EPA has selected the Mosaico Business and
                    Community Development Corporation for a
                    brownfields cleanup grant. Petroleum grant funds
                    will be used to clean up the former Bristol
                    Industrial Park at 500 Wood Street, Bristol. The
                    site was used for rubber and other heavy
                    manufacturing uses from 1864 to 1977. Currently,
                    the site is underused and contaminated with
                    petroleum from unknown past releases. Grant
                    funds also will be used for community outreach
                    activities.
