Description
The Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization is announcing the availability of $20 million dollars to award approximately 20 cooperative agreements for the Multipurpose Grant Program. Multipurpose Grants provide funding to carry out a range of eligible assessment and cleanup activities, including planning and additional community engagement activities. An applicant may request funding up to $1,000,000 to address hazardous substances and/or petroleum contamination at one or more brownfield sites. Activities carried out at each approved, eligible site may exceed $200,000. EPA will determine eligibility for site-specific assessment and cleanup activities after the award of the grant throughout the project period. A Multipurpose Grant recipient may only expend grant funds for the remediation of a brownfield site it owns and may not issue a subaward to another site owner to conduct the remediation.
