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 Grant $200,000 for petroleum EPA has selected the City of Youngstown for a brownfields assessment grant. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used to update the current inventory of petroleum brownfields, prioritize brownfield sites, conduct at least 24 Phase I and about 16 Phase II environmental site assessments, and prepare cleanup plans for up to three high-priority sites.
