Trenton, NJ
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
$200,000 petroleum
EPA has selected the City of Trenton for a brownfields cleanup grant.
Petroleum grant funds will be used to clean up the Federated Metals Lot
9 site at 300 Enterprise Avenue. The one-acre cleanup site was used for
zinc smelting operations from 1925 until 1980, and for storage of
demolition and construction debris from 1995 until 2002. It now is a
vacant lot. Although the site was used for zinc smelting, the most
significant contamination at the site is petroleum from underground
storage tanks that at one time resided on the property. Grant funds also
will be used to conduct site preparation activities.
