SUPPLEMENTAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE TO BROWNFIELDS PILOTS

EPA is accepting proposals for supplemental assistance for
the National Brownfields Assessment Pilots until Dec. 22.
Assessment pilots awarded on or before Sept. 30, 1998, may
apply for up to $150,000 for continuance and expansion of
their brownfields assessment efforts. This supplemental
funding will be awarded on a competitive basis. In fiscal
year 2000, an additional $50,000 may be awarded to assess
the contamination of a brownfields site that will be used for
greenspace purposes. Greenspace purposes may include
parks, playgrounds, trails, gardens, habitat restoration, open
space and/or greenspace preservation. EPA is expected to
award up to 50 national brownfields assessment pilots to
receive supplemental assistance by March 2000. For a copy

Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative: Proposal
Guidelines for Supplemental Assistance for the Brownfields
Assessment Demonstration Pilots (October 1999)," call the
