Brownfields 2017 Assessment Grant Fact Sheet
\SSU) Washington County Redevelopment Authority, PA

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
$100,000for petroleum
EPA has selected the Washington County Redevelopment Authority for
two brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide hazardous
substances grant funds will be used to conduct three Phase I and six
Phase II environmental site assessments, and prepare six cleanup plans.
Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used to conduct two
Phase I and two Phase II environmental site assessments, and prepare
two cleanup plans. Grant funds of both types also will be used to update
an online database of brownfields and support community outreach
activities, including the dissemination of marketing materials and
brochures. Assessment activities will focus on 21 municipalities in the
Monongahela River Valley.
