This year, EPA issued a total of $76 million in funding via a total of 214 grants through the Brownfields Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Grants program. This is the fourth time since 2007 DEM has applied for a competitive brownfields assessment grant. Of the $400,000, $200,000 is targeted for assessment of sites contaminated with hazardous substances and $200,000 is targeted for assessment of sites contaminated with petroleum. DEM plans to use the funding to carry out a total of 12 site assessment tasks, including 4 Phase I site assessments, 4 Phase II site assessments, and 4 cleanup planning tasks. Site selection criteria will be determined by the RI DEM Targeted Brownfields Assessment Application (revised October 2010). The application process is a competitive process and potential sites are scored based upon numerous factors used to determine the extent to which a property is underutilized, as well as site assessment costs, existence of a reuse plan (which includes sustainable reuse), financial incentives offered by the applicant, leveraging of funds for cleanup, and the applicants community involvement process.
