EPA provides brownfield funding for three types of grants: Brownfield Assessment Grants, Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grants, and Brownfield Cleanup Grants. Under this RFP, EPA is seeking proposals for Assessment Grants, only, to provide funds to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning (including cleanup planning) and community involvement related to brownfield sites.
