This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the CERCLA Section 128(a) State and Tribal Response Program Grants (CFDA 66.817) will enable the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) to enhance the state's brownfield response program. Key activities include: The grant will allow NDEE to conduct site assessments, oversee cleanup efforts, and facilitate public involvement for at least 3 brownfield sites across Nebraska. NDEE will also provide subawards for asbestos, lead-based paint, and mold cleanup (up to $20,000 each), environmental cleanup (up to 80% of costs), and cleanup planning (100% reimbursement, up to $50,000). Additionally, NDEE will offer technical assistance subawards (up to $15,000) to help local governments and non-profits with brownfield site visioning, market analysis, and funding/financing. The objective is to build NDEE's capacity to address and redevelop brownfield sites, with a focus on outreach to rural and disadvantaged communities.
