The Brownfields Program is designed to empower states, tribes, communities, and other stakeholders to work together to prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfield properties, like preserving them as greenspace. Brownfields Cleanup Grants provide funding for up to four years for cleanup activities at brownfield sites. A brownfield is a property that may contain a pollutant, hazardous substance, or contaminant, which creates a barrier to redeveloping that property. An applicant must own the site for which it is requesting funding. If a site has previously received Brownfields Cleanup Grant funding, then it is not eligible for additional Cleanup funding. As of FY23, there is an additional requirement for Cleanup Grant applicants to demonstrate that the proposed site(s) has been sufficiently characterized for the cleanup to begin. Funding is used for cleanup activities at brownfields sites for up to $500,000 for one or more sites.
