Getting an Early Jump on Your FY21 EPA Brownfields Grant Application
It's never to early to begin preparing your EPA Brownfields Grant application. This year's solicitation will include Multipurpose, Assessment, and Cleanup Grants. The nation's TAB providers have created a webinar that will guide you through those items you can begin working on now in anticipation of the Fall 2020 submission deadline. Topics covered include early planning tasks, community engagement, and grants.gov submission requirements, so visit this LINK and learn from the experts!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE FY 2020 ARC GRANTEES!
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the selection of 155 grants for communities and tribes totaling over $65.6 million in EPA brownfield funding through the agency’s Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Grant Programs.
Through our grant reviews, NJIT TAB was able to help communities win approximately $6 million in EPA brownfields funding to reclaim and repurpose sites within their communities.
These EPA grant programs support community revitalization in under-served and economically disadvantaged communities.
EPA Revitalization Handbook - Addressing Liability Concerns at Contaminated Properties
In December, EPA released The Revitalization Handbook - Addressing Liability Concerns at Contaminated Properties (2019 Edition). This information can be useful to stakeholders who are involved in the development of contaminated sites. The handbook summarizes the federal statutory provisions and EPA cleanup enforcement documents that may be able to address the liability concerns of parties involved in the cleanup and revitalization of contaminated sites. This document summarizes key legal and policy changes since the 2014 version.

Exhibiting at the Summit
Why should you exhibit?
Many of the Summit attendees buy products and services such as:
• Analytical instruments and services
• Monitoring and sampling equipment and services
• Remediation and treatment equipment and services
• Consulting services
Exhibit space is limited to 20 and includes:
• 6’ by 30” table, skirted and 2 chairs
• Registration for 1 attendee
• Attendee list (emailed post-conference)
• Coffee breaks and evening reception held in the exhibit space
Sponsors have first priority on exhibiting. Exhibit-only spaces will become available only if the number of sponsors allows. The best way to secure exhibit space is to become a Summit Sponsor.
