Brownfields 2016 Grant Fact Sheet
North Central Missouri Regional Water
Commission, Sullivan County, MO
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 Grant
$96,754 for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the North Central Missouri Regional Water Commission for a brownfields cleanup
grant. Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up seven parcels at the East Locust
Creek Reservoir site in Sullivan County. The parcels were historically used for residential, agricultural,
and commercial purposes, but are currently vacant. They are contaminated with metals, inorganic
contaminants, and household hazardous waste. Grant funds also will be used to support community
outreach activities and conduct health monitoring.
