OpportunityTitle: Proposal Guidelines for Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Grants
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Please see Section III of the announcement for eligibility information.
Description: The Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (Brownfields Law, P.L. 107-118) requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish guidance to assist applicants in preparing proposals for grants to assess and clean up brownfield sites. EPA&apos;s Brownfields Program provides funds to empower states, communities, tribes, and nonprofits to prevent, inventory, assess, clean up, and reuse brownfield sites. EPA provides brownfields funding for three types of grants. 1. Brownfields Assessment Grants provide 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 provide funding for a grant recipient to capitalize a revolving fund and to make loans and provide subgrants to carry out cleanup activities at brownfield sites. 3. Brownfields Cleanup Grants provide funds to carry out cleanup activities at a specific brownfield site owned by the applicant. Under these guidelines, EPA is seeking proposals for RLF Grants only. If you are interested in requesting funding for Assessment and/or Cleanup Grants, please refer to announcements EPA-OSWER-OBLR-11-05 (Assessment Grant Guidelines) or EPA-OSWER-OBLR-11-07 (Cleanup Grant Guidelines), posted separately on www.grants.gov and www.epa.gov/brownfields.
