LOAN & GRANT PROGRAMS NEW! Upcoming State and Federal Brownfields Workshop - August 2008 Funding Workshop Registration Form
Targeted Site Investigations The Small Business Liability Relief & Brownfields Revitalization Act that was signed in January 2002 provides funds to assess and clean up Brownfields sites and to enhance state and tribal response programs. Under this grant, DTSC has been awarded $1.5 million per fiscal year since 2003/2004, of which $550K per fiscal year is allocated to the Targeted Site Investigation (TSI) program. The TSI funds are intended to provide state and local governments, school districts, redevelopment agencies, and non-profit organizations an opportunity to gain more information about a site's condition, which can directly affect decisions on property acquisition or development. DTSC, along with the Water Quality Control Board, selects eligible Brownfields sites for the TSI program through a competitive application process. Although direct funding is not provided, the selected Brownfields sites receive environmental investigative services at no cost to the applicant. DTSC also provides technical oversight to ensure that the TSI funds are utilized in an effective manner and helps facilitates the decision making process. The investigative services awarded under the TSI program vary based on the needs of the selected applications. Previous awarded services have ranged from $45,000 to $150,000. For more information on the TSI program, please browse through the information on this web site, or contact the TSI Coordinator, Maryam Tasnif-Abbasi, at mtasnif@dtsc.ca.gov.

The three-million dollar Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Brownfield Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund Program establishes a revolving loan fund that provides loans to help developers, businesses, schools, and local governments clean up and redevelop Brownfields and underutilized properties. This Program was developed by DTSC working with the Redevelopment Agency of the City and County of San Francisco, and the City of Los Angeles to form California’s Urban and Rural Brownfields (CURB) Coalition in cooperation with USEPA. The CURB Coalition has joined together to become the CURB Coalition Brownfield Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund (CCRLF), with the goal to assist in providing low interest loans for the cleanup of Brownfield sites in California.
