U.S. EPA Brownfields Program Grants

Request for Letter from State Environmental Authority

Instructions

Overview

The U.S. EPA Brownfields Program provides direct funding for brownfield assessments, brownfield cleanups, brownfield revolving loan funds, and environmental job training through competitive grants. A letter acknowledging assessment or remediation activities from the state environmental authority is required to be attached to all proposals for Brownfields Assessment Grants, Brownfields Cleanup Grants, Brownfields Multipurpose Grants, and Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Grants.

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection fully supports entities applying for these grants to enhance their local community and the state’s environment and economy.

Request Form

In order to accommodate all applicants in a timely manner, WVDEP has created a request form that outlines basic information needed in order to provide a letter. Applicants should complete the form to the best of their ability and ensure that information provided is thorough and accurate.

If WVDEP has any questions while compiling the letter, questions will be directed to the proposal contact person listed.

Request Submittal

All completed request forms must be e-mailed to DEPBrownfieldsAssessment@wv.gov for processing.

Submission of a request form should occur at least two (2) weeks prior to the grant proposal submission deadline. If an entity intends to submit the proposal prior to the deadline (which is suggested), the desired receipt date for the state environmental authority letter must be specified within the request email.
