Through Superfund Redevelopment, EPA is helping communities to reuse Superfund sites by providing technical, financial, and other forms of assistance. For example, EPA has established a recycling pilot program that provides financial and technical assistance to local governments. This assistance is designed to meet the specific needs of each local government that participates in the pilot program, regarding projecting future land use and performing cleanups consistent with the anticipated use. EPA has a technical assistance grant (TAG) program that in some cases may fund activities that can contribute to reuse efforts. For example, communities may apply to the Agency for a TAG to hire technical experts to help them better determine the use options. EPA is also exploring other opportunities to help communities reuse Superfund sites.
