Brownfields, and builds relationships

with other stakeholders on the national

and local levels to develop coordinated

approaches for community

revitalization.

Funding for the brownfields

assessment pilots is authorized under

Section 104(d)(1) of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act of

1980, as amended, (CERCLA or

Superfund), 42 U.S.C. 9604(d)(1). States,

cities, towns, counties, U.S. Territories,

and Indian Tribes are eligible to apply.

EPA welcomes and encourages

applications from coalitions of such

entities, but a single eligible entity must

be identified as the legal recipient.

Cooperative agreement funds will be

awarded only to a state, to an officially

recognized political subdivision of a

state, or to a Federally recognized tribe.

For non-state applicants, please include

a statement verifying that your entity

has been authorized by the state to

exercise governmental powers.

Through a brownfields cooperative

agreement, EPA authorizes an eligible

state, political subdivision, Territory, or

Indian Tribe to undertake activities that

EPA itself has the authority to pursue

under CERCLA sections 104(a) or

104(b). All restrictions on EPA’s use of

funding cited in CERCLA section 104

also apply to brownfields assessment

pilot cooperative agreement recipients.

The proposal evaluation panels will

review the proposals carefully and

assess each response based on how well

it addresses the selection criteria, briefly

outlined below:

1. Problem Statement and Needs

Assessment (4 Points Out of 20)

—Effect of Brownfields on your
