| ^ \ Brownfields 2016 Assessment Grant Fact Sheet
Kentucky River Area Development District, Southeastern Kentucky
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
$200,000for hazardous substances
$200,000for petroleum
EPA has selected the Kentucky River Area Development District for two
brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide hazardous substances
and petroleum grant funds will be used to conduct 17 Phase I and nine
Phase II environmental site assessments, and prepare up to eight cleanup
plans. Grant funds also will be used to inventory sites, including
mine-scarred land, and conduct community outreach activities.
