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

EPA has selected the Spirit Lake Tribe for a brownfields cleanup grant.
Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up the Sheyenne
Re-locatable Homes site at 7591 35th Street in Sheyenne. The
approximately two-acre cleanup site was formerly used for houses that
had been transferred from the Minot Air Force Base. It is contaminated
with mold, metals, and inorganic contaminants. Grant funds also will be
used to conduct community involvement activities.
