Brownfields  2015 Assessment Grant  Fact Sheet
              Sanford,  FL
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 Sanford for two brownfields assessment
                grants. Community-wide hazardous substances grant funds will be used
                to conduct eight Phase I and five Phase II environmental site assessments
                and to develop two cleanup plans. Grant funds also will be used for
                community outreach activities. Community-wide petroleum grant funds
                will be used to conduct the same tasks at sites with potential petroleum
                contamination.
