New Guide for CERCLA 128(a) Grantee Conformance Assessment

1. Scope

A Brownfield is a property for which redevelopment may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. EPA is authorized to issue grants under CERCLA Section 128(a) for the characterization and remediation of environmentally-challenged property for redevelopment purposes. CERCLA Section 128(a) grantees such as Tribes, States, Cities, and non-governmental organizations need defensible, consistent, and reliable policies and procedures that are robust to successfully execute these grants.

Keywords

Brownfields, CERCLA Section 128(a), conformance

Rationale

Currently, CERCLA Section 128(a) grantees do not have a consistent means of determining their conformance with the requirements of the Section 128(a) grant program.
