\	Atlantic City, 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.

Assessment Grants

$200,000for hazardous substances

$200,000for petroleum

EPA has selected the City of Atlantic City for two brownfields
assessment grants. Community-wide hazardous substances grant funds
will be used to inventory and prioritize brownfields, and conduct 12
Phase I and 12 Phase II environmental site assessments.
Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used to conduct the
same tasks at sites with potential petroleum contamination.

Cleanup Grants

$363,658for hazardous substances

EPA has selected the City of Atlantic City for two brownfields cleanup
grants. Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up the
Bungalow Park site at 709 Mediterranean Avenue, and the Delta Basin
Homes site at North Maryland, Wabash, and Adriatric Avenues. The
Bungalow Park site is vacant, undeveloped land and is contaminated
with historic fill. The Delta Basin Homes site was formerly developed
with a vehicle inspection station and automobile repair garages, and is
contaminated with historic fill. Grant funds at both sites also will be used
for community outreach and involvement activities.
