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 Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes for a
brownfields cleanup grant. Petroleum grant funds will be used to clean
up the former Poplar Sludge Pit at 101 Indian Highway in Poplar. The
cleanup site was a sludge pit for approximately 45 years and once
contained an aboveground crude oil tank. The site is contaminated with
petroleum, benzene, naphthalene, and other volatile and semi-volatile
compounds. Grant funds also will be used to finalize a cleanup plan.
