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 Grants $150,000 for hazardous substances $150,000 for petroleum EPA has selected the City of St. Helens for two brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide hazardous substances grant funds will be used to conduct up to four Phase I and three Phase II environmental site assessments, and complete one cleanup plan. Grant funds also will be used to support community involvement activities, and expand and prioritize the city's inventory of brownfield sites. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used to conduct the same tasks at sites with potential petroleum contamination.
