How do I...?
Funding for the brownfields training, research, and technical assistance grants and cooperative agreements is authorized under §104(k)(6) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, (CERCLA or Superfund), 42 U.S.C. 9604(k)(6). This statute authorizes EPA to provide, or fund eligible entities or nonprofit organizations to provide brownfields training, research, and technical assistance to individuals and organizations. EPA awards grants and cooperative agreements authorized by §104(k) under a statutory ranking system that includes factors relating to community need, impact on human health and the environment, stimulation or leveraging of other funds, eligibility for funding from other sources, effective use of existing infrastructure. In addition to the statutory factors, EPA also evaluates applicants based on their ability to manage grants and other policy based factors intended to promote effective stewardship of Federal funds.
The American Planning Association (APA) was awarded a Training, Research, and Technical Assistance grant in 2007. APA's Planning and Community Health Research Center recently published Creating Community-Based Brownfield Redevelopment Strategies, a guide to help community-based organizations participate more effectively in the complicated process of brownfield cleanup and redevelopment. By explaining how different development strategies will benefit their communities, this guide will activate and empower local organizations to have a significant impact on brownfield redevelopment planning. The guide is available as a free PDF download from APA's website
