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.

used to update a brownfield site inventory and conduct 12 Phase I and
eight Phase II environmental site assessments. Grant funds also will be
used to develop three cleanup plans and three site reuse plans, host up to
three design charrettes, and support community outreach activities. The
target area for this grant is Tennessee's Clearfork Valley, which has been
historically impacted by coal mining operations. Priority sites include a
former coal mining camp in the Town of Eagan, a 20-acre coal settling
pond in the Town of Clairfield, and an 18-acre former childcare center in
