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

                     $156,275 for hazardous substances

                     EPA has selected the City of Kelso for a
                     brownfields cleanup grant. Hazardous substances
                     grant funds will be used to clean up the Auto
                     Salvage Yard at 1124 North Pacific Avenue.
                     Historical salvage operations at the site since the
                     1950s have left widespread contamination in
                     shallow soils from polycyclic aromatic
                     hydrocarbons, PCBs, benzene, and metals. Grant
                     funds also will be used to conduct community
                     involvement and cleanup planning activities.
