Assessment grants provide funding for a grant recipient to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct reuse and/or cleanup planning and community involvement related to areas affected by brownfields. These grants are available to state, local, and tribal governments, quasi-governmental entities, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, and regional councils/commission. Applicants may request up to $200,000 for a single site affected by hazardous substances or petroleum contamination, or larger amounts with a waiver request, up to $300,000 for a community-wide grant, or up to $600,000 for a coalition grant. Grant solicitations are issued annually, generally during the fall. Contact Matthew Didier at didier.matthew@epa.gov or 312-353-2112.
