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 $300,000 for hazardous substances $300,000 for petroleum EPA has selected the Kodiak Island Borough for a brownfields assessment coalition grant. Community-wide hazardous substances grant funds will be used to conduct up to nine Phase I and six Phase II environmental site assessments, and prepare three cleanup plans. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used to conduct the same tasks at sites with potential petroleum contamination. Grant funds of both types also will be used to update the current brownfields inventory, prioritize sites, create two area-wide plans, and support community outreach and involvement activities. Assessment activities will focus on the Kodiak Island Borough, the second largest island in the United States. Coalition partners are the Natives of Kodiak Inc. and the City of Kodiak.
