Brownfields 2016 Grant Fact Sheet
Henderson, NV
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 Grant
$275,000 for hazardous substances
$275,000 for petroleum
EPA has selected the City of Henderson for a brownfields assessment coalition grant. Community-wide
hazardous substances grant funds will be used to perform nine Phase I environmental site
assessments, and prepare two cleanup plans. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used to
perform six Phase I environmental site assessments, and prepare two cleanup plans. Grant funds of
both types will be used to prepare a brownfields inventory report, perform four Phase II environmental
site assessments, and conduct community involvement activities. Coalition partners are the Henderson
Redevelopment Agency and Southern Nevada Health District. Assessment efforts will target sites along
the Boulder Highway Corridor in Henderson.
