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. The Small Business Liability Relief and
Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002, as amended by the
Brownfields Utilization, Investment and Local Development
Act of 2018, was passed to help states and communities around
the country clean up and revitalize brownfield sites. Under this
law, EPA provides financial assistance to eligible applicants
through five competitive grant programs: Multipurpose Grants,
Assessment Grants, Revolving Loan Fund Grants, Cleanup
Grants, and Environmental Workforce Development and Job
Training Grants. Additionally, funding support is provided to
state and tribal response programs through a separate
mechanism.

Cleanup Grant

$500,000

EPA has selected the City of Harlowton for a Brownfields Cleanup
Grant. Grant funds will be used to clean up the Harlowton Roundhouse
and Railyard located at 308 A Avenue in the City of Harlowton. The
cleanup site was a former railyard and depot that included a
17,000-square-foot roundhouse, an office, switching yards, track, and
repair and refueling operations. The 180-acre vacant brownfield is
contaminated with metals and organic and inorganic contaminants. The
condition of the site restricts access to the Musselshell River. Grant funds
also will be used to develop a community relations plan, update an
existing project website, and conduct otlier community involvement
activities.
