N/A
Brownfield sites are 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. CERCLA Section 104(k)(7) provides EPA with authority for a financial assistance program of training, research, and technical assistance to individuals and organizations to facilitate the inventory of brownfield properties, assessments, cleanup of brownfield properties, community involvement, or site preparation. Previously funded grants may be funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Recipients will be required to report program accomplishments for IIJA-funded activities in the Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment, Exchange System (ACRES) and collected data will be used to demonstrate successful implementation of the program. Funding Priorities - Fiscal Year 2025, EPA intends to incrementally fund existing cooperative agreements with satisfactory project progress selected in previous CERCLA Section 104(k)(7) training, research, and technical assistance grant competitions. Additionally, using a competitive grants process, EPA may select applications and award cooperative agreements for technical assistance to support specific sector needs (e.g., revolving loan fund, Tribal governments) to help communities increase their understanding of brownfields issues and advance their brownfields assessment, cleanup and reuse goals.
