"The term 'brownfield site' means 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(from the federal Brownfields Act of 2002)
Summary of Brownfielps Program
Originally begun as an EPA initiative in January 1995, the US EPA National Brownfields
Program has since evolved into a collaborative effort involving many federal, state and local
partners. In January 2002, the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization
Act ("the Brownfields law") was signed. This law expanded potential federal assistance for
Brownfields revitalization, including grants for assessment, cleanup, and job training. The law
also includes provisions to establish and enhance state and tribal response programs, which
will continue to play a critical role in the successful cleanup and revitalization of brownfields.
Below is a summary of the US EPA Region 1 funding for each of the key Brownfields initiatives.

Targeted Brownfields Assessments fTBAI
Under this initiative, EPA uses its contractors to conduct brownfields assessments at sites
identified by the local entity as being a high priority for reuse. Brownfields assessments
typically involve a review of existing site records, site sampling and preparation of a
preliminary clean-up cost estimate. The information gathered allows local government
officials and developers to make informed decisions regarding the redevelopment potential of
a site. Below is a summary of the sites and amount of TBA funding received in New
Hampshire since 1997.
