BROWN FIELDS	April 2010
EPA New England
"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.

Assessment Grant Program
State, tribal, and local governments are eligible to apply for funding to inventory,
characterize, assess, and conduct planning and community involvement related to brownfield
sites. Applicants may apply for $200,000 to address sites contaminated by hazardous
substances, pollutants, or contaminants (including hazardous substances co-mingled with
petroleum) and $200,000 to address sites contaminated by petroleum. Coalitions of three or
more eligible entities may apply for up to $1,000,000 and must assess a minimum of five
sites. A community-wide proposal is one in which sites are not specifically identified. The
performance period of these grants is three years and recipients are selected through an
annual national competition. The figures in the table that follows are cumulative totals for
all Assessment Grants awarded in Massachusetts since 1994.

Revolving Loan Fund Grant Program
State, tribal, and local governments are eligible to apply for funding to capitalize a revolving
loan fund (RLF) and to provide subgrants to carry out cleanup activities at brownfields sites.
Applicants may apply for $1,000,000 to address sites contaminated by petroleum and
hazardous substances. Two or more eligible entities may team together to form a coalition to
pool their revolving loan funds. Revolving loan funds generally are used to provide no-interest
or low-interest loans for brownfields cleanups. An RLF grant recipient may also use up to 40%
of the awarded funds to award subgrants to other eligible entities, including nonprofit
organizations, for brownfields cleanups on sites owned by the subgrantee. A grant recipient
cannot subgrant to itself. An RLF grant requires a 20% cost share. The performance period of
these grants is five years and recipients are selected through an annual national competition.

awarded in Massachusetts since 1994.

Targeted Brownfielps Assessments fTBAI
One of EPA's non-grant programs is the Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) Program.
TBAs are conducted by an EPA contractor on behalf of municipalities or non-profits. This is a
"grant of services" where an EPA contractor performs the site assessment. The purpose of a
TBA is to minimize the uncertainties associated with actual or perceived contamination that
complicates the redevelopment of vacant or underutilized properties. The average value of
these assessments is $100,000. There is usually one round of selections per year and
applications are accepted at any time. The Brownfields Law expanded the TBA program's
eligible sites to also include those contaminated solely by petroleum products. Call Jim Byrne
at (617) 918-1389 for more information. Below is a summary of the sites and amount of
TBA funding received in Massachusetts since 1997.

State & Tribal Brownfielps Funding
States and tribes play a significant role in identifying, cleaning up and redeveloping
brownfield properties. EPA provides up to $50 million annually in grants to states and tribes
to establish or enhance their response programs that address the assessment, cleanup, and
redevelopment of brownfields. States and tribes can use this funding to establish or expand
voluntary cleanup programs, perform environmental assessments and cleanups, capitalize a
cleanup revolving loan fund, purchase environmental insurance, establish or maintain a
public record of sites, oversee cleanups, and to conduct site specific activities. Below is a
summary of the amount of funding received in Massachusetts since 1 994.

Showcase Communities
Showcase Communities were selected as national models demonstrating the benefits of
collaborative activity on brownfields. These communities are distributed across the country
and vary by size, resources, and community type. A wide range of support from federal
agencies and tax incentives were leveraged, depending on the needs of each Showcase
Community. An important goal of this program was to develop national models that
demonstrate the positive results of public and private collaboration to address brownfields
challenges. Showcase Communities were selected through a national competition in 1998 &
2000.
