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 hazardous substances
EPA has selected the City of Marysville for a
brownfields cleanup grant. Hazardous substances
grant funds will be used to clean up the Geddes
Marina at 1326 1st Street. Although the property
historically has been used as a marina, the city has
ceased renewing leases and is removing several
boat houses located within the marina. The site is
contaminated with hazardous substances,
including arsenic, cadmium, and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons. This contamination likely
resulted from past activities, including fuel and oil
storage and handling, boat sanding and painting,
and stormwater discharge from the adjacent mill
site. Grant funds also will be used to conduct
groundwater monitoring and support community
involvement activities.
