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 $200,000 for hazardous substances $100,000 for petroleum EPA has selected the Snowy Mountain Development Corporation for two brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide hazardous substances and petroleum grant funds will be used to conduct eight Phase I and eight Phase II environmental site assessments, and prepare one cleanup plan. Grant funds also will be used to support community outreach activities. Assessments will focus on Fergus, Judith Basin, Petroleum, Wheatland, Musselshell, and Golden Valley Counties.
