Anderson University, Anderson, SC
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
$200,000for hazardous substances
EPA has selected Anderson University for a brownfields cleanup grant.
Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up the Seabrook
Building/Former Pro Weave property at 821 Williamston Road in
Anderson. The 2.5-acre site is adjacent to a wetland area and was used
for metal fabrication operations that supported the textile industry from
before 1965 until the late 2000s. Much of the site was destroyed by a fire
in 2015. The site is contaminated with metals, poly cyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, and inorganic contaminants. Grant funds also will be used
to conduct community outreach activities.
