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 Ute Mountain Ute Indian

                                                  Old Towaoc Landfill. The site served as a landfill
                                                  until its closure in the late 1990s. The cap used for
                                                  closing the landfill is eroding, exposing landfill

                                                  include metals, and organic and inorganic
                                                  compounds. Grant funds also will be used to
                                                  conduct community outreach activities, and
                                                  document institutional controls.
