The Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG) will receive $300,000 from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 under the Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA #66.818) from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. NVCOG will inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct cleanup planning and community involvement activities for brownfield sites in Waterbury, Connecticut and other communities within its jurisdiction.

Site-specific tasks comprise assessments, sampling plans, cleanup/reuse planning, and enrolling sites in Connecticut's voluntary cleanup program to determine if further action is required prior to redevelopment. No subawards are anticipated under this cooperative agreement.
