WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) awarded $240,000 Brownfields grant to the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ).
The funds will be used towards surveying and taking inventory of brownfield sites, which are properties whose expansion, redevelopment or reuse may be complicated by the presence of hazardous substances. The objective of this project is to establish and enhance the capacity of the State Brownfields Program and assist in remediating and reusing brownfields sites.
EPA’s Brownfields program provides grants and technical assistance to communities, states, tribes and others to assess, safely clean up and reuse contaminated properties.
