What Is This Program?

Unlike many other EPA cleanup programs, States and Tribal Nations conduct or oversee the assessment and cleanup of brownfield sites within their jurisdictions. Section 128(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (โ€œCERCLAโ€) authorizes EPA to provide noncompetitive funding to States (including Island Territories and DC) and Indian Tribes to establish or enhance their environmental response programs. The EPA Brownfields Programโ€™s goal is to empower states, tribes, communities, and other stakeholders to work together in a timely manner to assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields.
