What the grant funds

EPA’s Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization (OBLR) is soliciting applications from eligible entities to provide technical assistance to assist communities facing brownfields challenges within the geographic areas delineated in Section I.B.6. Cooperative agreements awarded under this announcement will help communities tackle the challenge of assessing, cleaning up and preparing brownfield sites for redevelopment, especially underserved/rural/small and distressed communities. The technical assistance provided through these agreements will cover technical support on various brownfields subject areas. Regardless of the mechanism by which the technical assistance is made available, it should be geared toward results and in helping communities move its brownfield sites forward in the process toward cleanup and reuse. In addition, understanding the underlying technical issues associated with a brownfield site will enable communities to participate substantively in brownfield site decisions. For the purposes of this solicitation, technical assistance is defined as providing advice and support, in the form of specialized knowledge, to a person or organization with the goal of guiding them through the brownfield assessment, cleanup and revitalization process or helping them understand complex brownfields-related subject matters. The recipient will provide technical assistance, consistent with EPA policy and procedures, and serve as an independent source of information to assist communities.
