| ^ \ Brownfields 2015 Assessment Grant Fact Sheet Salt Lake County, UT PRQ1^ 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 $97,850for petroleum EPA has selected Salt Lake County for two brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide hazardous substances grant funds will be used to conduct nine Phase I and five Phase II environmental site assessments. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used to conduct three Phase I and three Phase II environmental site assessments. Grant funds of both types also will be used to populate a site inventory database, prepare four cleanup plans, and conduct community outreach activities.
