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 $400,000 for hazardous substances $200,000 for petroleum EPA has selected the Northern Nevada Development Authority for a brownfields assessment coalition grant. Community-wide hazardous substances and petroleum grant funds will be used to develop a brownfields inventory, prioritize sites, and perform up to 25 Phase I and up to 11 Phase II environmental site assessments. Grant funds also will be used to develop up to five cleanup plans, create an area-wide plan, and conduct community involvement activities. Assessment activities will focus on Carson City redevelopment areas, Main Street Program target areas of the Townships of Minden and Gardnerville, and infill and industrial properties in Douglas County.
