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.

Cleanup Grant

$600,000 for hazardous substances

EPA has selected the White Mountain Apache Tribe Housing Authority for three brownfields cleanup
grants. Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up 11 housing units at the White
Mountain Apache Tribe Reservation in Cibecue; 17 housing units at the White Mountain Apache
Tribe Reservation in Whiteriver; and five housing units at the White Mountain Apache Tribe
Reservation in McNary. The cleanup sites are all former low-income housing units contaminated with
methamphetamine and its precursors. Grant funds also will be used to support community
engagement activities.
