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.

Multi-Purpose Pilot Grant
$400,000 for petroleum
($200,000 for assessment; $200,000 for
cleanup)
EPA has selected the City of Mt. Shasta for a
brownfields multi-purpose pilot grant. Petroleum
grant funds will be used to assess and clean up the
Roseburg Commerce Park - "New Mill" site
located west of South Mt. Shasta Boulevard. The
site is a former lumber mill that is contaminated
with petroleum compounds. Assessment grant
funds will be used to conduct a Phase II
environmental site assessment and develop a
cleanup plan. Cleanup grant funds will be used to
clean up the site, prepare closeout reports, and
certify that the site is ready for redevelopment.
Both assessment and cleanup funds will be used to
conduct community engagement activities. The
site is expected to be redeveloped as a multi-use
commerce park that will include a conference
facility and space for offices, retail stores,
restaurants, entertainment, and environmentally
clean light-industrial uses.
