Overview of the 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 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.
