The text below is the recorded source content, not a substitute for the current official funding notice.

This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits applications from eligible entities to carry out cleanup activities at brownfield sites owned by the applicant. Eligible entities include government organizations, Federally recognized Tribes, and nonprofit organizations.

Please see Section 2.A. for the complete list of eligible entities. Applications must meet all threshold eligibility criteria in Section 2.B. and the 20% cost share requirement in Section 2.C. to be considered eligible to receive a Cleanup Grant. Refer to the FY27 Brownfields Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for additional information.

An applicant may only submit ONE Cleanup Grant application in the FY27 competition cycle. Applicants may request up to $500,000 to clean up one brownfield site or to allocate up to $500,000 among multiple sites. An applicant may request funding to address hazardous substances and/or petroleum contamination at one or more brownfield sites.

The applicant must be the sole owner of the site(s) that is the subject of its Cleanup Grant application and must own the site(s) by January 21, 2027, to be eligible to receive a Cleanup Grant. An applicant cannot propose an alternate site if a site identified in the application is determined by EPA to be ineligible for funding.

EPA strongly recommends contacting the Regional Brownfields Contact listed in Section 1.E. to ensure the proposed site(s) is eligible for funding prior to submitting your application. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) requires applicants to provide a 20% cost share of the federal funds for Cleanup Grants.

For example, a $500,000 Cleanup Grant awarded by EPA will require the recipient to provide a $100,000 cost share. The cost share, which may be in the form of a contribution of money, labor, material, or services, must be for eligible and allowable costs under the grant, as described in the grant regulations at 2 CFR § 200.306.

See Section 2.C. for details.
