Brownfields 2016 Grant Fact Sheet
Centro Civico Mexicano, Salt Lake City, UT
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 Centro Civico Mexicano for a brownfields cleanup grant. Hazardous substances grant
funds will be used to clean up the Centro Civico Mexicano site at 155 South 600 West in Salt Lake
City. The site has a history of coal-related industrial uses from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s. It has
continuously operated as a civic center since 1956, and houses Centro Civico Mexicano's offices. Soil
at the site is contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Grant funds also will be used to
support community outreach activities.
