</SPAN></B>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today that
it has selected $78.9 million in brownfields grants to communities in 40
states, four tribes and one U.S. Territory, with a $475,000 award to the City
of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City></st1:place>. This funding will be used for
the assessment, cleanup and redevelopment of brownfields properties, including
abandoned gas stations, old textile mills, closed smelters and other abandoned
industrial and commercial properties. <o:p></o:p></P>

encourages redevelopment of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place>’s estimated 450,000
abandoned and contaminated waste sites. As of March 2010, EPA’s
brownfields assistance has leveraged more than $14 billion in cleanup and
redevelopment funding, and 61,277 jobs in cleanup, construction and
redevelopment. These investments and jobs target local, under-served and
economically disadvantaged neighborhoods – places where environmental cleanups
and new jobs are most needed. Cleaning up our communities is one of EPA
Administrator Lisa P. Jackson’s priorities, which leads not only to health and
environmental benefits but also economic development and prosperity.

economy, we must first strengthen our communities," said Administrator
Jackson. "Cleaning up and revitalizing these contaminated sites opens
doors to new businesses, new homes and new jobs for American workers while
making our environment cleaner and the community healthier. This shows
that what is right for the environment is right for the economy."

$256.7 million, and 655 cleanup grants totaling $129.4 million. As part
of Administrator Jackson’s commitment to this program, the 2011 proposed
budget includes an increase of $215 million for brownfields with a focus on
planning, cleanup, job training and

Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act were

considered a brownfield, so communities may now focus on mine-scarred lands,
sites contaminated by petroleum or sites contaminated as a result of
manufacturing and distribution of illegal drugs (e.g. meth labs).
