U.S. EPA Region 2

The U.S. EPA is an agency of the federal government in charge with protecting human health and the environment.

EPA's Brownfields Program provides grants and technical assistance to communities, states, non-profits, tribes and others to assess, safely clean up and sustainably reuse contaminated properties. Since its inception in 1995, EPA's Brownfields Program has grown into a proven, results-oriented program that has changed the way communities address and manage contaminated property.
