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. On January 11, 2002,
President George W. Bush signed into law the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields
Revitalization Act. Under the Brownfields 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 hazardous substances

EPA has selected the National City Community Development Commission for a brownfields
assessment grant. Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to develop an area-wide inventory
of sites, perform between ten and 15 Phase I and up to five Phase II environmental site assessments,
and conduct community outreach activities in the city's Westside Neighborhood.
