The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has revised the Brownfields Grant Proposal Guidelines for the 2009
Fiscal Year and is soliciting comments on those revisions. The U.S. EPA provides brownfields funding for three
types of grants: assessment, revolving loan fund and cleanup. The major changes to the guidelines include:

  • Three separate booklets for each of the grant types
  • Assessment Coalitions which allow eligible entities of three or more to request up to $1 million for
    hazardous substance or petroleum (or combined) community-wide assessments
  • Community Notification is a threshold criterion

The ranking criteria , which is four sections, includes:

  • Community Need
  • Project Feasibility
  • Community Engagement
  • Project Benefits

Community based organization letters of support are required as well as a completed Phase II report at the time
of application for a cleanup grant.

Comments on the guidelines are due to
Megan Quinn.  See the  Federal Register notice and download the draft
guidelines.
