The Brownfields Economic 

Redevelopment Initiative 

Proposal Guidelines for 

Brownfields Job Training and 

Development Demonstration Pilots 
EPA's Brownfields Job Training and


Development Demonstration Pilots


The brownfields environmental job training and development pilots will each be funded up to 

$200,000 over two years. These funds are to be used to bring together community groups, job 

training organizations, educators, investors, lenders, developers, and other affected parties to 

address the issue of providing training for residents in communities impacted by brownfields. 

The goals of the pilots are to facilitate cleanup of brownfields sites contaminated with hazardous 

substances and prepare the trainees for future employment in the environmental field. The pilot 

projects must prepare trainees in activities that can be usefully applied to a cleanup employing 

an alternative or innovative treatment technology. Although EPA has decided not to require 

that recipients share in the cost of the program through a specific matching formula, the Agency 

will take the extent to which recipients demonstrate the ability to “leverage” limited EPA funds 

into account in evaluating and ranking proposals. 

EPA expects to select approximately 10 Brownfields Environmental Job Training and 

Development pilots by the end of December 2001. Pilot applicants must be located within or 

near one of the brownfields assessment pilot communities (see Attachment A on page 12). 

Colleges, universities, nonprofit training centers exempt from taxation under 26 U.S.C. 

501(c)(3), community job training organizations, states, cities, towns, counties, U.S. Territories, 

and federally recognized Indian tribes are eligible to apply for the funds. EPA welcomes and 

encourages applications from coalitions of such entities, but a single eligible entity must be 

identified as the legal recipient. Entities with experience in providing environmental job training 

and placement programs, including training in alternative or innovative treatment technologies, 

are invited to apply. The deadline for proposals is October 19, 2001. 

EPA's Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilots 

EPA defines brownfields as abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial and commercial facilities 

where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental 

contamination. EPA's Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative is an organized 

commitment to help communities revitalize such properties both environmentally and 

economically, mitigate potential health risks, and restore economic vitality to areas where 

brownfields exist. Successful brownfields cleanup and redevelopment are proof that economic 

development and the environment can, and indeed, must coexist. 

As a part of the Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative, EPA has funded 399 

Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilots. The pilots are designed to empower states, 

communities, tribes, and other economic redevelopment stakeholders to work together in a 

timely manner to prevent, assess, safely cleanup, and sustainably reuse brownfields. EPA has 

awarded cooperative agreements to states, cities, towns, counties, and tribes for demonstration 

pilots that test brownfields assessment models, direct special efforts toward removing regulatory 

barriers without sacrificing protectiveness, and facilitate coordinated public and private efforts at 

the federal, state, tribal and local levels. 

1

A critical part of EPA's efforts to encourage assessment and cleanup of brownfields is 

participation by affected residents. In addition, EPA works to ensure that disadvantaged 

residents do not bear a disproportionate burden of the effects of environmental contamination. 

Revitalization of communities that are distressed due to uncertain liabilities related to 

environmental contamination typically results in improved job opportunities. This should not 

cause the displacement of local disadvantaged residents due to a lack of training needed to fill 

those job opportunities. To help residents take advantage of jobs created by the assessment and 

cleanup of brownfields, EPA initiated the Brownfields Job Training and Development 

Demonstration Pilots. 

Authority for Brownfields Job Training Pilots 

Funding for the brownfields environmental job training and development demonstration pilots is 

authorized under §311(b)(9)(A) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 

and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, (CERCLA or Superfund), 42 U.S.C. 9660(b)(9)(A). This 

statute authorizes and directs EPA to carry out a program of training and an evaluation of training 

needs in the procedures for the handling and removal of hazardous substances for employees who 

handle hazardous waste substances, training in the management of facilities at which hazardous 

substances are located, and training in the evaluation of the hazards to human health presented by 

such facilities for State and local health and environmental agency personnel. The Agency is 

authorized to award grants and cooperative agreements for this purpose by CERCLA §311(b)(3). 

Training funded under this solicitation must be in the handling and removal of hazardous 

substances related to the implementation of alternative or innovative treatment technologies as 

defined in §311(b)(10) of CERCLA. The statute defines the term alternative or innovative 

treatment technologies as: technologies, including proprietary or patented methods, which 

permanently alter the composition of hazardous waste through the toxicity, mobility, or volume 

(or any combination thereof) of the hazardous waste or contaminated materials being treated. 

The term also includes technologies that characterize or assess the extent of contamination, the 

chemical and physical character of the contaminants, and the stresses imposed by the 

contaminants on complex ecosystems at sites. 

The statute also requires that EPA, to the maximum extent possible, “enter into appropriate cost 

sharing arrangements” with recipients under CERCLA §311(b)(3). The Agency has determined 

that imposing a specific “match” formula for cost sharing is not appropriate due to the financial 

and administrative burdens that such a requirement would impose on potential recipients. 

Rather, the Agency will take the extent to which applicants demonstrate their ability to leverage 

EPA funds into account as an evaluation factor. For the purpose of these guidelines, leveraging 

refers to developing a coordinated Brownfields job training program which uses other training 

resources available to the recipient to complement the limited funding EPA can provide for 

training in the handling and removal of hazardous substances. 

The Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance Number for this program is 66.811. 

2

Limitations on Use of EPA Funds 

Restrictions on the use of CERCLA funding apply to brownfields environmental job training and 

development demonstration pilot cooperative agreement recipients. For example, pilot funds 

may not be used for training for sites contaminated by petroleum products unless they are 

believed to be co-mingled with a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant (e.g., used oil). 

CERCLA expressly excludes petroleum from the definition of hazardous substances. 

Demonstration pilot proposals should conform to the following guidelines: 

! Pilot applicants must be located within or near one of the 399 brownfields assessment 

pilot communities (see Attachment A on page 12). 

! Eligible applicants include colleges, universities, nonprofit training centers, community 

job training organizations, states, cities, towns, counties, U.S. Territories, and federally 

recognized Indian tribes. EPA welcomes and encourages applications from coalitions of 

such entities, but a single eligible entity must be identified as the legal recipient. 

Nonprofit organizations must be exempt from tax under 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3) to be 

eligible for funding. 

! Pilot funds may be used to train residents of communities impacted by brownfields in the 

procedures for the handling and removal of hazardous substances, which includes training 

for jobs in sampling, analysis, and site remediation. The proposed training program 

must encompass activities that can be usefully applied to a cleanup employing an 

alternative or innovative treatment technology. Funds may be used for: 1) training in 

the management of facilities at which hazardous substances are located; 2) training for 

response activities often associated with cleanups—for example, landscaping, demolition, 

and groundwater extraction—where these activities are directly related to planned 

cleanups; and 3) development of curriculum for the training described in this paragraph. 

Pilot funds may be used to cover administrative costs, but most of the pilot funds should 

be used for hazardous waste management training. 

! The recipient may teach trainees skills that are relevant to the implementation of nonalternative or non-innovative treatment technologies, provided these skills can be applied 

to alternative or innovative treatment technologies as well. 

! Pilot funds may be used for training participants in the use of the techniques and methods 

for cleanup of leaking underground storage tanks, asbestos abatement, or lead abatement 

where this training is a component of a more comprehensive hazardous waste 

management training course. 

! Use of pilot funds requires that training programs provide proof of non-replicability with 

other established hazardous waste management training programs in their target 

community. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences maintains a list of 

their worker training grantees on their web site, http://www.niehs.nih.gov/wetp. 

! Pilot funds may be used for outreach activities directed toward improving participation in 

hazardous waste management training for communities impacted by brownfields. 

Proposed training programs must establish procedures to ensure that participants are 

3

recruited from the neighborhoods where the brownfields sites are located and graduates 

from their training programs are employed in cleaning up hazardous waste facilities. 

! Pilot funds may not be used for conducting site assessments or actual cleanups. Pilot 

funds may not be used for response activities often associated with cleanups—for 

example, landscaping, demolition, and groundwater extraction. Assessment, cleanup, and 

associated activity costs should be funded through other means, such as state voluntary 

cleanup programs, state and federal government grants, state tax incentive programs, 

tribal funds, contributions from responsible parties, and prospective purchaser 

agreements. 

! Pilot funds may not be used for general or life skills education activities, job readiness 

training, GED costs, transportation costs or stipends for students, web site development, 

vehicle or medical insurance, or child care costs. 

! As specified in Agency guidance, Pilot funds may not be used to support "lobbying" 

efforts of the grantee (for example, lobbying members of Congress or state legislatures, or 

lobbying for other federal grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts). 

! Pilot funds may not be used to match any other federal funds unless there is specific 

statutory authority for the match. CERCLA does not provide this authority. However, 

pilot funds may be used to match state or local funds if authorized by the relevant state 

statute or local ordinance. 

All costs incurred under this program must be allowable under the applicable OMB Cost 

Circulars (A-21 for educational institutions, A-87 for governments, and A-122 for nonprofit 

organizations). 

Evaluation of the Proposals 

The National Brownfields Job Training and Development Demonstration pilots are administered 

on a competitive basis. To ensure a fair selection process, evaluation panels consisting of EPA 

Regional and Headquarters staff and other federal agency representatives will evaluate the 

proposals. 

The evaluation panels will assess how well the proposals meet the evaluation criteria outlined 

below. All evaluation criteria have equal weight. The panels give each proposal “high, medium, 

or low” scores on each criteria, determine which proposals have the potential to effectively use 

the limited funds EPA has available for awards, and rank the proposals on that basis. The panel's 

recommendations will be presented to EPA Senior Management for final selection. Senior 

Agency management may also take geographic distribution of funding into account in making 

final selection decisions. 

Proposals must be clear and decisive and strictly follow and address each of the criteria. 

Sufficient detail must be provided for the panels to compare the merits of each proposal and 

decide which proposals best support the intent of the pilot program. Vague descriptions, 

unnecessary redundancy, and failure to address budgetary responsibility for all training, 

recruitment, and placement costs may reduce the chance of a favorable rating. Incomplete 

4

proposal packages will not be accepted. Proposals providing the best evidence of a true need, a 

quality project, a proven record of job placement and student tracking, leveraging of partnerships 

with public and private sources, a comprehensive budget analysis and detailed budget narrative, 

and effective use of funds will have the best chance of being recommended by the panels. 

Proposals must include training in the handling and removal of hazardous substances related 

to innovative and alternative treatment technologies. 

When a proposal is selected, applicants will receive a confirmation letter, and the appropriate 

EPA Regional Brownfields Coordinator and Regional Grants Specialist will be informed. The 

applicant will then be asked to submit a formal cooperative agreement application package. This 

package will include a formal work plan that describes the work to be performed, including a 

final budget, and the required certification forms. The EPA Regional Brownfields Coordinators 

and Regional Grants Specialists will work closely with the applicants to process and finalize the 

cooperative agreement package. Proposal funding is not guaranteed at any stage of the 

proposal process until the final awards are given. 

Applicants with proposals that are not selected will be informed in writing. EPA’s goal is to 

select a broad array of brownfields environmental job training and development demonstration 

pilots that will serve as training models for other communities across the nation. EPA seeks to 

identify applications that demonstrate integration of the pilots with their community’s existing 

brownfields cleanup and redevelopment efforts; other federal, state, tribal, and local sustainable 

development programs; community revitalization programs; and pollution prevention programs.
