Brownfields 2016 Grant Fact Sheet
Atlantic City, NJ
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.
Assessment Grants
$200,000 for hazardous substances
$200,000 for petroleum
EPA has selected the City of Atlantic City for two brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide
hazardous substances grant funds will be used to inventory and prioritize brownfields, and conduct 12
Phase I and 12 Phase II environmental site assessments. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will
be used to conduct the same tasks at sites with potential petroleum contamination.
Cleanup Grants
$363,658 for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the City of Atlantic City for two brownfields cleanup grants. Hazardous substances
grant funds will be used to clean up the Bungalow Park site at 709 Mediterranean Avenue, and the
Delta Basin Homes site at North Maryland, Wabash, and Adriatric Avenues. The Bungalow Park site is
vacant, undeveloped land and is contaminated with historic fill. The Delta Basin Homes site was
formerly developed with a vehicle inspection station and automobile repair garages, and is
contaminated with historic fill. Grant funds at both sites also will be used for community outreach and
involvement activities.
