If funds have been expended at a site under an EPA cleanup grant, can additional brownfields funding be provided for additional cleanup work at the same site?
Yes, an EPA cleanup grant recipient may apply for additional funding through an EPA brownfields revolving loan fund. A cleanup grant recipient may also request that a state or tribe conduct additional cleanup with CERCLA 128(a) State and Tribal Response Program funding. A city/town or other eligible entity may also apply for a cleanup grant for a site on which a state or tribe has already expended CERCLA 128(a) funds. Many states have their own public funding available for remediation and reuse of brownfields. The funds may be in the form of grants, loans, or tax credits or refunds from new tax revenue generated by the new use of the property. There may be limits on who is eligible to receive the funds (for example, the discharger of the contamination being cleaned up isn’t usually eligible). Check your state’s environmental agency and economic development agency websites for more information. USEPA encourages its grant applicants to leverage the use of other public and private funding
