Brownfields 2016  Grant  Fact  Sheet

St. Cloud,  MN


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 St. Cloud for two brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide
hazardous substances grant funds will be used to inventory sites, and conduct six Phase I and up to
four  Phase II environmental site assessments. Grant funds also will be used to prepare two cleanup
plans and support community outreach activities. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used
to conduct the same tasks at sites with potential petroleum contamination.
