The Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 awarded the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management a $785,000 Project Grant under the State and Tribal Response Program Grants (CFDA 66.817) program. Through this award, the Rhode Island DEM will enhance the state's Brownfields response program capacity and carry out planning, assessment, and cleanup activities for brownfield sites across Rhode Island from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023.
Specifically, the Rhode Island DEM will perform timely surveys and inventories of brownfield properties, provide oversight and enforcement of response actions to protect human health and the environment, and ensure meaningful public involvement in the program. The agency will also approve cleanup plans and verify completed responses. This funding will assist Rhode Island DEM in assessing sites through the state's Targeted Brownfield Assessment Program and overseeing site cleanups, with the overall goal of remediating and reusing brownfield properties in the state. No subawards are associated with this assistance agreement.
