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
$600,000for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the White Mountain Apache Tribe Housing Authority
for three brownfields cleanup grants. Hazardous substances grant funds
will be used to clean up 11 housing units at the White Mountain Apache
Tribe Reservation in Cibecue; 17 housing units at the White Mountain
Apache Tribe Reservation in Whiteriver; and five housing units at the
White Mountain Apache Tribe Reservation in McNary. The cleanup sites
are all former low-income housing units contaminated with
methamphetamine and its precursors. Grant funds also will be used to
support community engagement activities.
