What are Brownfields?
Real property, the expansion, redevelopment,
or reuse of which may be complicated by the
presence or potential presence of a hazardous
substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
What is the
Brownfields Assistance Program?
Through the EPA, the State Response Grant
is used to reimburse ADEQ for costs to manage
the Brownfields Program, conduct outreach
activities, and for state targeted site assessment
projects. Additionally, applicants may apply to
ADEQ for their sites to be part of the
Brownfields Assistance Program. The program
can provide financial and technical assistance
for Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site
Assessments or clean up.
Sites Eligible for Funding may
be Contaminated with:
• Hazardous substances
• Petroleum products
• Pesticides
• Metals
• Asbestos
Why is Brownfields
Development Important?
Brownfields properties are often abandoned,
with owners no longer maintaining the property
or paying taxes. Abandoned properties can
quickly become eyesores, and may attract
vandalism and illegal dumping, which degrade
the environment, depress our communities,
and potentially put our health at risk.
What would be the Advantage
of a Brownfields Revitalization
Project in My Community?
Productively reusing Brownfields reduces
urban sprawl, increases the tax base, cleans up
the environment, encourages urban revitalization
and creates jobs for the community.
