EPA New England---Brownfields Targeted Site Assessment Program

[Center for Public Environmental Oversight <cpeo@cpeo.org>]

Redevelopment assistance -- EPA New England is offering free site
assessments to
municipalities and other entities interested in redeveloping abandoned,
contaminated
properties. Under the agency's Brownfields program, environmental
consultants contracted by the EPA will perform the assessments, valued
at up to $50,000, to assess
contamination, and estimate costs of cleaning up the site for
redevelopment. The program is open only to public or non-profit
entities, such as municipalities and community
development corporations. Redevelopment can involve the creation of
commercial,
industrial, recreational or conservation uses. Contact Bob Cianciarulo,
