This $150,000 project grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 supports the Penobscot Indian Nation's Brownfield Response Program through September 2023. The program will survey and inventory brownfield sites on tribal lands, provide oversight of response actions to protect human health and the environment, and ensure meaningful public involvement. It will also facilitate approval of cleanup plans and verification of completed responses. These activities will help remediate and redevelop brownfield properties under the Nation's jurisdiction. The grant was awarded on October 1, 2021 under the EPA's State and Tribal Response Program Grants (CFDA #66.817), which provides $150k to establish or enhance states' and tribes' capabilities to respond to releases of hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
