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 Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for two brownfields
cleanup grants. Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean
up the Old Fort Yates Elementary School at 1801 Agency Avenue in Fort
Yates. The building was used as a school from the 1970s until it closed a
few years ago. It is contaminated with PCBs, mold, and inorganic
contaminants. Hazardous substances grant funds also will be used to
clean up the Old Sitting Bull College at 1341 92nd Street in Fort Yates.
The three-acre site was the location of a community college from 1973 to
2009. The college building is contaminated with PCBs, mold, and
inorganic contaminants. Grant funds for both sites also will be used to
conduct community involvement activities.
