Brownfields
The TRBP hosted a
Brownfield Workshop
in 2001.
The Environmental Protection Agency has introduced two new interactive
Brownfields web tools–EnviroMapper and Envirofacts– that will give the public
unprecedented access to interrelated information about local Brownfields
properties. The tools allow residents to locate Brownfields in their area and
provide access to new detailed information about the individual Brownfields
grants.
Grants are awarded to communities across the United States for assessment
planning, cleanup and job training. EnviroMapper, combines interactive maps and
aerial photography to locate and display those Brownfields properties that have
received EPA grants. The public can locate properties by a variety of means,
such as zip code, city, county, tribe, state or congressional district.
Envirofacts provides other detailed information on properties, such as
property profiles, grant profiles, performance reports and contact information.
Users can also search parts of Envirofacts directly by providing certain key
details such as a grant name or number.
Users can access the Brownfields Envirofacts or EnviroMapper on the new Find
EPA Brownfields Projects Where You Live page at: http://epa.gov/brownfields/bfwhere.htm.
