Brownfields  2016 Cleanup Grant  Fact Sheet
              Shelton, CT
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

                $200,000 for hazardous substances

                EPA has selected the City of Shelton for a brownfields cleanup grant.
                Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up the former
                Chromium Process Facility on 113 Canal Street West. The site hosts a
                large manufacturing building that was used at one time for a major metal
                plating and finishing facility. The site's soil and groundwater are
                contaminated with chlorinated volatile organic compounds, polynuclear
                aromatic hydrocarbons, and heavy metals. Grant funds also will be used
                for community involvement activities.
