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.

                    $300,000 for hazardous substances

                    $300,000 for petroleum

                    EPA has selected the Western Reserve Port
                    Authority for a brownfields assessment coalition
                    grant. Community-wide hazardous substances
                    grant funds will be used to conduct a brownfields
                    inventory and perform up to 12 Phase I and up to
                    five Phase II environmental site assessments.
                    Grant funds also will be used to prepare cleanup
                    plans for four sites and support community
                    involvement activities. Petroleum grant funds will
                    be used to conduct the same tasks at sites with
                    potential petroleum contamination. The coalition
                    will focus on the Golden Triangle Priority

                    Rowland Township.
