Eligible Activities
Brownfields Job Training Grants fund training programs that strengthen local workforces by preparing program graduates for environmental jobs that support cleanup and revitalization efforts in their own communities.
Funds can be used for brownfields assessment and cleanup training, as well as training in the areas of community involvement and site preparation for sustainable and equitable reuse and redevelopment. The only required training is OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER. Beyond this, the applicant should design a curriculum that meets the training needs identified by a local labor market assessment and employer survey.
Training may include a range of brownfield-related environmental skills such as the assessment and cleanup of solid and hazardous waste; chemical risk management; stormwater management relating to site cleanup; planning and site preparation for low-impact development activities; site preparation for green infrastructure installation; and vulnerability assessment and contamination mitigation planning.
