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.

                     EPA has selected the City of Clinton for two
                     brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide
                     hazardous substances funds will be used to
                     conduct eight Phase I and six Phase II

                     develop up to three cleanup plans. Grant funds of
                     both types also will be used to maintain an
                     inventory of brownfield sites and support
                     community outreach activities. The focus of this
                     grant will be on the city's historic Downtown
