prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse
brownfields. A brownfield site is real property, the

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.
