Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund Grants
This program provides grants to eligible agencies to capitalize a revolving loan fund that will provide loans and subgrants to eligible entities to carry out cleanup activities at brownfield sites contaminated with hazardous substances and/or petroleum.
A revolving loan fund grant recipient must use 50% or more of the awarded funds for loans, and grantees may not subgrant to themselves. Additional requirements are listed in the application instructions.
A critical part of Environmental Protection Agency's Brownfield program is to ensure that residents living in communities historically affected by economic disinvestment, health disparities, and environmental contamination are able to benefit from brownfield redevelopment.
In addition to the Revolving Loan Fund Grants, there are 3 other funding opportunities under the Brownfield program.
Eligible applicants include:
- State, local, and tribal governments, with the exception of certain Alaskan tribes
- General purpose units of local government
- Land clearance authorities or other quasi-governmental entities
- Regional councils or redevelopment agencies
- Government entities created by state legislature
- Alaska Native Regional Corporations, Alaska Native Village Corporations, and the Metlakatla Indian Community
- 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations
- Limited liability corporations or partnerships in which all general partners are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or limited liability corporations whose sole members are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations
