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 hazardous substances
EPA has selected the City of Vienna for a brownfields cleanup grant.
Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up the former
Johns Manville site at 2905 2nd Avenue. The 19-acre cleanup site was
used to treat cut wood in the late 19th century. From 1914 to 1950, the
Meyercord Carter Company operated its Vitrolite plant on the site to
make structural pigmented glass. In 1950, production shifted to
fiberglass yams and insulation. The site was then operated until 2006 by
the Johns Manville Corporation, and now sits vacant. It is contaminated
with metals and inorganic contaminants. Grant funds also will be used to
support community engagement activities.
