This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supports the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality's (LDEQ) Brownfields Response Program under the CERCLA Section 128(a) State and Tribal Response Program Grants (CFDA 66.817). The $396,145 award, effective October 1, 2024, will enable LDEQ to enhance the capacity of its brownfields program by conducting site surveys and inventories, providing oversight and enforcement authorities, ensuring public involvement, and approving/verifying cleanup plans.
Additionally, LDEQ will sub-award up to an estimated $100,000 to local government and nonprofit entities to support brownfield planning activities, outreach, and inventory development in up to 2 communities per year during years 2-5 of the grant period. The objective is to assist in remediating and reusing brownfield sites throughout the state of Louisiana, thereby expanding the state's environmental response program.
