FY25 Guidelines for Brownfield Assessment Grants (Community-Wide Assessment Grants for States and Tribes)

Applicants may request funding up to $2,000,000 to address sites contaminated by hazardous substances (i.e., sites with potential contamination of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants) and/or petroleum8 (i.e., sites with potential petroleum contamination) throughout their jurisdiction. Recipients will be required to assess sites (a minimum of 10) throughout their geographic boundary(ies). All sites selected during the period of performance (i.e., sites that were not identified in the original workplan) must be located in an underserved and/or disadvantaged community. Consistent with the direction on site limits in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, activities carried out at each approved, eligible site may exceed $200,000. EPA will determine site eligibility after the award of the grant throughout the project period.
