Cooperative Agreement 96271500

This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 66.818), will provide $1,500,000 in funding to Livingston County, New York to conduct eligible assessment-related activities.

Specifically, the agreement will support Livingston County in performing environmental site inventories, Phase I and Phase II assessments, cleanup planning, and community involvement efforts related to brownfield sites within the county. The funding will enable the county to competitively procure and direct qualified environmental professionals to carry out these assessment and planning activities. As part of the grant, Livingston County will also submit quarterly progress reports and relevant data to the EPA's ACRES system. This work is anticipated to result in 24 Phase I assessments, 14 Phase II assessments, 1 site-specific cleanup plan, and 6 planning documents to support brownfield revitalization efforts in the region.
