EPA Targeted Brownfield Assessment Webinar hosted by CCLR

Thursday Feb. 22 11 am PST

Join us for our upcoming webinar on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Targeted Brownfield Assessments (TBA) program, because To Be Honest (TBH) a TBA can likely benefit your community! This program provides cost-free technical assistance (TA) through EPA contractors to conduct brownfield assessment activities such as Phase I & II’s and Assessment of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA). The TBA program is available locally on a rolling basis and unlike a grant, it does not require a lengthy application process.

Brownfield sites are often underutilized or vacant properties with known or perceived contamination that can adversely impact public and environmental health, hinder redevelopment, impede job growth, and diminish community pride. In this webinar, you will learn from case studies that detail how applicants have benefited from TBAs and served as a catalyst for transforming these sites into assets for the community.

Justfields: Elevate your land reuse initiatives with new environmental justice funding

Thursday March 7 2024

Join this important conversation where we will articulate the intersections between brownfields funding and ECJ funding. Attendees will learn how to effectively leverage ECJ funding to support their communities’ revitalization initiatives and mitigate past environmental injustices. Speakers from EPA’s Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization (OBLR) and the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights (OEJECR) will:

Outline available and upcoming ECJ funding including the Community Change Grants and Thriving Communities EJ Subgrants;
Spotlight eligible activities that are particularly relevant to land reuse;
Identify CERCLA 104(k) and 128(a) limitations that can potentially be addressed with ECJ funding;
And consider financial layering opportunities that maximize the potential of redevelopment initiatives and support project momentum.
