This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 66.818) provides $1,500,000 in funding to the County of Oakland, Michigan to conduct eligible brownfield assessment activities. Specifically, the agreement will enable the county to inventory, characterize, assess, and perform cleanup planning and community involvement for brownfield sites within Oakland County. The funding will allow the county to procure and direct qualified environmental professionals to conduct environmental site assessments, including 95 Phase I and 58 Phase II assessments. The county will also hold multiple community meetings and submit 16 quarterly progress reports over the 4-year performance period from October 2024 to September 2028. The goal of these activities is to benefit the residents, business owners, and other stakeholders in and around Oakland County by addressing contaminated properties and enabling their expansion, redevelopment, or reuse.
