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 Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians for a Brownfields Cleanup Grant. Grant funds will be used to clean up eight buildings located on the 600-acre San Haven complex located at 98th Street NE San Haven Road in the City of Dunseith. The 600-acre facility treated tuberculosis patients from 1909 to 1970, operated as a state hospital from 1971 until 1987, and then as a home for various business enterprises such as sewing and clothing. It is contaminated with metals, organic and inorganic contaminants, and PCBs. Grant funds also will be used to support community outreach activities.
