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 City of Wausau for a
                     brownfields cleanup grant. Petroleum grant funds
                     will be used to clean up the former Cloverbelt
                     Coop Services site at 1202 1st Street. The
                     two-acre site was first developed in the late 1800s
                     for lumber storage and later used for storing and
                     dispensing petroleum. It has been vacant since
                     2005. Soil and groundwater are contaminated with
                     petroleum. Grant funds also will be used to
                     conduct community outreach activities.
