| w | Brownfields 2016 Cleanup Grant Fact Sheet V / Robbins, NC 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 Grants $400,000for hazardous substances EPA has selected the Town of Robbins for two brownfields cleanup grants. Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up the Northern Parcel of the former Robbins Mill at 200 South Kennedy Street, and the Southern Parcel of the former Robbins Mill at 100 South Kennedy Street. The Robbins Mill property originally was developed and used as a woolen textile mill. Both parcels are contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and metals. Grant funds at both sites also will be used to conduct community outreach activities.
