Brownfields 2016 Grant Fact Sheet
Zanesville, OH
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
$400,000 for hazardous substances
$150,000 for petroleum
EPA has selected the City of Zanesville for a brownfields assessment coalition grant. Community-wide
hazardous substances grant funds will be used to perform 14 Phase I and 12 Phase II environmental
site assessments, and prepare two cleanup plans. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used
to perform five Phase I and four Phase II environmental site assessments, and prepare two cleanup
plans. Grant funds of both types also will be used to update the current brownfields inventory and
conduct community outreach activities. Coalition partners are Muskingum County and the Zanesville-
Muskingum County Port Authority. Assessment activities will focus on the East Fultonham, Philo,
Roseville, and Zanesville communities.
