Brownfields 2016 Assessment Grant Fact Sheet
Uintah Basin Association of Governments, Duchesne County, UT
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 Grant
$275,000for hazardous substances
$275,000for petroleum
EPA has selected the Uintah Basin Association of Governments for a
brownfields assessment coalition grant. Community-wide hazardous
substances grant funds will be used to perform 12 Phase I, four Phase II,
and two supplemental Phase II environmental site assessments. Grant
funds also will be used to conduct a brownfields inventory, prepare three
cleanup plans, and support community outreach and involvement
activities. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used to
conduct the same tasks at sites with potential petroleum contamination.
Grant funds of both types also will be used to conduct area-wide plans
for two focus areas. Coalition partners are Duchesne County and the
City of Roosevelt. Assessment activities will focus on the Cities of
Duchesne, Myton, and Roosevelt in Duchesne County.
