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 Grants
$400,000for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District for two
brownfields cleanup grants. Hazardous substances grant funds will be
used to clean up the Bioretention Basin property at 6417-6429 Grand
Avenue and 2696-2700 East 65th Street in Cleveland, and the
Greenspace property at 6507-6517 Grand Avenue in Cleveland. Both
properties were historically developed with residential buildings, with
portions used as a salvage material yard. They are both contaminated
with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and metals. Grant funds at both
sites also will be used to conduct community involvement activities.
