I W 1 Brownfields 2017 Cleanup Grant Fact Sheet
\s? San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, CA
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
$348,204for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department for
two brownfields cleanup grants. Hazardous substances grant funds will
be used to clean up Parcels 3A and 3B at the 900 Innes property, which
was historically a boat building and repair facility. Parcel 3A is the site
of the Shipwright's Cottage, which was a residential unit from 1875 to
1961, and then served as a boat yard office. It is contaminated with
metals and inorganic contaminants. Parcel 3B was a boat building and
repair facility for 120 years, particularly through the era of marine-based
cargo transportation in the city, and was most recently used for
construction equipment storage. The ,8-acre site is contaminated with
heavy metals such as nickel, zinc, and copper; and biocides. Grant funds
for both sites also will be used to conduct environmental monitoring and
support community outreach activities.
