Brownfields 2016 Grant Fact Sheet
Tigard City Center Development Agency, OR
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 Grants
$400,000 for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the Tigard City Center Development Agency for two brownfields cleanup grants.
Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up Property 1 of the Main Street/Fanno Creek
(Saxony-Pacific) site at 12535 SW Main Street. Hazardous substances grant funds also will be used to
clean up Property 2 of the Main Street/Fanno Creek (Saxony-Pacific) site at 12533 SW Main Street.
Both properties are located at a site that was formerly the location of a sawmill, welding shop, and
printing shop, and are contaminated with halogenated volatile organic compounds, metals, and PCBs.
Grant funds at both properties also will be used to enforce institutional controls and conduct
community engagement activities.
