Brownfields 2016 Cleanup Grant Fact Sheet
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
$200,000for petroleum
EPA has selected the City of Rome for a brownfields cleanup grant.
Petroleum grant funds will be used to clean up the former Rome-Turney
Radiator Company site at 109 Canal Street. The 1.4-acre site was
operated by the Rome-Turney Radiator Company from 1905 until the
mid-1990s as a manufacturing plant for radiators. In June 1988, the site
experienced a petroleum release from fuel storage tanks, contaminating
the property's soil and groundwater. Grant funds also will be used for
community outreach activities.
