Description
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources directs brownfield reuse projects to federal assistance provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA funding supports work to investigate environmental conditions and clean up contaminated sites so they can return to use. These federal opportunities are distinct from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation’s own brownfields funding.
EPA Assessment Grants support site inventories, characterization, assessment, cleanup planning, and community involvement. Cleanup Grants support remediation of sites contaminated with hazardous substances or petroleum. Multipurpose Grants can combine assessment, cleanup, planning, and inventory work within a proposed target area.
