Brownfields Site Assessment and Remediation

IMG 1294

Supporting the Redevelopment of Underused and Idle Properties

The EPA’s brownfields initiative addresses properties whose development plans may be complicated by the presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant that are often in economically distressed areas. Both federal and state governments may offer tax credits, grants or other incentives in return for developing a brownfield site. Voluntary remediation/cleanup programs can support the EPA Brownfields Program and offer certificates of completion that provide additional liability protections. ECS guides clients through the brownfields process from initial grant request writing through site assessment and remediation.

Brownfields grant support

The EPA’s Brownfields Assessment Grants program provides funding for a grant recipient to inventory, characterize, assess and conduct a range of planning activities, develop site-specific cleanup plans and conduct community engagement related to brownfield sites.

Federal grant opportunities are generally published in early fall with November application deadlines. Many states also have brownfields grants available, with some accepting grant applications year-round.

Early preparation helps facilitate a smooth grant application process. ECS partners with clients to provide guidance through the grant application process, from preparation to performance period.
