Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund Pilots/Grants
The EPA Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund (BCRLF) Program is designed to enable eligible States, cities, towns, counties, U.S. Territories, and Tribes to capitalize revolving loan funds that will be used to safely cleanup Brownfields so as to facilitate their sustainable reuse. The EPA provides financial assistance to an eligible entity (e.g., a municipality) to establish its own revolving loan fund that will be used to make loans for authorized purposes (i.e., Brownfields cleanups). This fund is termed revolving because it uses loan repayments to make new loans for the same authorized purposes. Recipients of the BCRLF cooperative agreement will use the monies to fund cleanup activities. BCRLF monies may not be used to pay for non-environmental response or redevelopment activities (e.g., construction of a new facility or marketing of property). Use of BCRLF funds must be in accordance with CERCLA (Superfund), and all CERCLA restrictions on use of funding also apply to BCRLF cooperative agreement recipients. The BCRLF monies may not be lent to potentially responsible parties (PRPs) at the site(s), unless they meet a CERCLA exemption from liability as an owner/operator, or unless the BCRLF recipient finds that the EPA could use its enforcement discretion (as described in EPA guidance) to not pursue the party in question under CERCLA.
