Brownfields
2016 Assessment
Grant
Fact Sheet
Henderson, NV
EPA Brownfields Program
EPA's Brownfields Program empowers states, communities, and other stakeholders to work together to prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields. A brownfield site is real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In 2002, the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act was passed to help states and communities around the country cleanup and revitalize brownfields sites. Under this law, EPA provides financial assistance to eligible applicants through four competitive grant programs: assessment grants, revolving loan fund grants, cleanup grants, and job training grants. Additionally, funding support is provided to state and tribal response programs through a separate mechanism.
Assessment Grant
$275,000 for hazardous substances
$275,000 for petroleum
EPA has selected the City of Henderson for a brownfields assessment coalition grant. Community-wide hazardous substances grant funds will be used to perform nine Phase I environmental site assessments, and prepare two cleanup plans. Community-wide petroleum grant funds will be used to perform six Phase I environmental site assessments, and prepare two cleanup plans. Grant funds of both types will be used to prepare a brownfields inventory report, perform four Phase II environmental site assessments, and conduct community involvement activities. Coalition partners are the Henderson Redevelopment Agency and Southern Nevada Health District. Assessment efforts will target sites along the Boulder Highway Corridor in Henderson.
