Overview of the 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. 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 City of Los Angeles for two brownfields assessment grants. Community-wide
hazardous substances and petroleum grant funds will be used to conduct seven Phase I and four
Phase II environmental site assessments, and prepare up to four cleanup plans. Grant funds of both
types also will be used to support community involvement activities, screen and prioritize brownfield
sites, and develop GIS maps of the identified brownfields.
