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 Borough of Steelton for a brownfields assessment grant. Hazardous
substances grant funds will be used to identify and prioritize brownfields sites, and conduct Phase I
and II environmental site assessments at up to five sites. Grant funds also will be used to conduct a
human health-based risk assessment, and support community outreach activities.
