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.

Assessment Grant

$600,000

EPA has selected Salt Lake County for a Brownfields Assessment Coalition Grant. Community-wide
grant funds will be used to inventory sites and conduct 18 Phase I and 12 Phase II environmental site
assessments. Grant funds also will be used to develop six cleanup plans and support community
outreach activities. Assessment activities will focus on the Camp Kearns, Seven Peaks Waterpark
site, Murray City Central Business District, and Magna Main Street target areas. Priority sites include
30 parcels at a former Army base that were formerly occupied by warehouses, mechanic shops, and
light industry; a commercial water park that has been vacant since 2018, and several sites within a
historic residential and commercial district. Coalition partners are Salt Lake City and Murray City.
