Brownfields 2013 Assessment Grant Fact Sheet
Springfield, MO
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.
Assessment Grants
$200,000 for hazardous substances
$200,000for petroleum
EPA has selected the City of Springfield for two
brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide
hazardous substances grant funds will be used to
conduct 10 Phase I and 10 Phase II environmental
site assessments. Grant funds also will be used to
conduct cleanup planning at 10 sites and support
community involvement activities.
Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be
used to conduct the same tasks at sites with
potential petroleum contamination.
