Brownfields Assessment Grants &#150; provides funds to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning (including cleanup planning) and community involvement related to brownfield sites. 2. Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grants &#150; provides funding for a grant recipient to capitalize a revolving fund and to make loans and provide subgrants to conduct cleanup activities at brownfield sites.3. Brownfields Cleanup Grants &#150; provides funds to conduct cleanup activities at a specific brownfield site owned by the applicant.Under these guidelines, EPA is seeking proposals for Cleanup Grants only. If you are interested in requesting funding for Assessment, please refer to announcement EPA-OSWER-OBLR-14-07 (Assessment Grant guidelines) posted separately on www.grants.gov and www.epa.gov/brownfields. A solicitation for new Revolving Loan Fund Grants will not be issued in FY15. EPA expects to solicit requests from existing, high performing RLF grantees through a Federal Register notice for supplemental RLF funding in early 2015.
