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. The Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002, as amended by the Brownfields Utilization, Investment, and Local Development Act of 2018, was passed to help states and communities around the country clean up 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.

Assessment Grants

$150,000 for hazardous substances
$150,000 for petroleum

EPA has selected the City and County of Honolulu for two brownfields assessment grants.

Community-wide hazardous substances and petroleum grant funds will be used to conduct up to 14 Phase I and up to eight Phase II environmental site assessments, and develop one cleanup plan. The target areas for these grants are transit-oriented development areas surrounding seven of the city's future rail transit stations.
