Cleanup grants provide funding for a grant recipient to carry out
cleanup activities at brownfield sites. An eligible entity may apply for
up to $200,000 per site. Due to budget limitations, no entity can apply
for funding cleanup activities at more than three sites. These funds
may be used to address sites contaminated by petroleum and hazardous
substances, pollutants, or contaminants (including hazardous substances
co-mingled with petroleum). Cleanup grants require a 20 percent cost
share, which may be in the form of a contribution of money, labor,
material, or services, and must be for eligible and allowable costs (the
match must equal 20 percent of the amount of funding provided by EPA
and cannot include administrative costs). A cleanup grant applicant may
request a waiver of the 20 percent cost share requirement based on
hardship. An applicant must own the site for which it is requesting
funding at time of application. The performance period for these grants
is three years.
