This layer provides point locations for Brownfields Grants as derived from the Cleanups in My Community (CIMC) database. Locations were derived from Cleanups in My Community areas and points. For areas, a centroid was created for each area or place of performance. For grants where there were multiple areas, a centroid was created for each of those areas and then inserted into the layer as separate records, with each record representing a centroid.

Brownfields are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant. This dataset shows the locations of sites, facilities and properties that have been contaminated by hazardous materials and are being, or have been, cleaned up under EPA Brownfields cleanup programs.

This featured collection was created for use in EnviroAtlas: click here to open in the EnviroAtlas Interactive Map.

This featured collection is comprised of layers that cover broad topics relevant to assessing areas at-risk for environmental contamination, identifying vulnerable populations, and understanding important community characteristics. These national data, coming from both EnviroAtlas and external sources, have been curated based on Brownfields Program grant guidance. This collection provides a resource to assist brownfield grant applicants and awardees in presenting their stories and plans for redeveloping their local brownfields. Grant applicants should refer to the current year's guidance for grant funding.

In addition to national data, EnviroAtlas also provides very fine-scale data for selected communities, the option to view your own local data, and built-in tools that can help communities tell their stories: Learn more about EnviroAtlas resources for Brownfields. Use the EnviroAtlas Help to learn how to use available features, including adding your own data and using the Compare My Area tool, which generates reports with demographic variables and various health risks, allowing for comparing your area of interest to the surrounding county and state.

Here are some suggestions for how you might use the data in this collection:

Overlay demographic data on top of the Estimated Floodplains layer to determine what populations may be vulnerable to flooding. Add Dasymetric Population to more finely see where people live in the area of interest. Use the National Land Cover Database to identify land cover like developed areas with high impervious surface, which exacerbates urban heat and water runoff issues. Sites Reporting to EPA include the Brownfields Properties with EPA grants, Superfund sites, and more, which, if located in areas that flood, could present additional challenges for spreading contaminated materials. Data layers that present information about low-wage jobs, business vacancy, and residential populations with a low quality of life score, may indicate economically depressed areas and disadvantaged communities. A lack of farmers markets may indicate a lack of fresh food in the community that exacerbates existing health and economic burdens.

Data Layers in this Collection Data layers are grouped into four categories that relate back to grant guidance. View data individually or combine data from different categories. [SP] Sensitive and Disproportionately Impacted PopulationsThese data can help support your story by demonstrating community need. The presence of sensitive populations that are disproportionately impacted or overburdened is important when presenting your community's narrative.[SP] Percent low income workers (workplace location, Census block group) 2017[SP] Percent low income workers (home location, Census block group) 2017 [H] Adverse Health Conditions Connected to community need, these layers provide specific health-related data that can be used in your application and may be particularly useful if these health issues are a concern in your community. Also, the Compare My Area tool allows you to compare some of these health layers in your census tract to your county and state levels to present potential disparity near the brownfield.

Brownfields are defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) as abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. The primary goals of Florida's Brownfields Redevelopment Act (Ch. 97-277, Laws of Florida, codified at ss. 376.77-.85, F.S.) are to reduce health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial sites that are abandoned or underused due to these hazards and create financial and regulatory incentives to encourage voluntary cleanup and redevelopment of sites. After a local municipality in Florida designates an area as a brownfield to encourage redevelopment and focus upon revitalization, a resolution is passed and property owners within that designated area optionally may remediate or redevelop their property. Executed Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreements (BSRAs) are voluntary cleanup agreements between a responsible party and FDEP or a delegated local pollution control program. This agreement provides the FDEP and the public assurance that site rehabilitation will be conducted in accordance with the statute and the Brownfields Cleanup Criteria rule (Ch. 62-785), and provides liability protection for the responsible person. The agreement contains various commitments by the responsible person, including milestones for completion of site rehabilitation tasks and submittal of technical reports and plans as agreed to by the responsible person and the DEP. It also contains a commitment by the FDEP to review technical reports according to an agreed upon schedule. This layer provides a polygon representation of the boundaries of sites within a designated Brownfield Area within Florida where BSRAs have been executed between FDEP and a responsible party.

This asset contains all Brownfield facility data. It includes all information necessary to track Brownfields grant recipients' environmental progress at Brownfield properties such as property location, acreage, identification and characterization, past uses, environmental assessment information and analyses, contaminants found, media affected, information on property cleanup, and information on site reuse and land revitalization. Regulatory authority for the collection and use of this information is found in the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002 ("the Brownfields Law"), which amended the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980.

To improve public health and the environment, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) collects information about facilities, sites, or places subject to environmental regulation or of environmental interest. Through the Geospatial Data Download Service, the public is now able to download the EPA Geodata shapefile containing facility and site information from EPA's national program systems. The file is Internet accessible from the Envirofacts Web site (https://www3.epa.gov/enviro/). The data may be used with geospatial mapping applications. (Note: The shapefile omits facilities without latitude/longitude coordinates.) The EPA Geospatial Data contains the name, location (latitude/longitude), and EPA program information about specific facilities and sites. In addition, the file contains a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), which allows mapping applications to present an option to users to access additional EPA data resources on a specific facility or site. This dataset shows Brownfields listed in the 2012 Facility Registry System.

This web feature service consists of location and facility identification information from EPA's Facility Registry Service (FRS) for the subset of sites that link to the Assessment Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES). ACRES stores information reported by EPA Brownfields grant recipients on Brownfields properties assessed or cleaned up with grant funding, as well as information on Targeted Brownfields Assessments (TBA) performed by EPA Regions. The Facility Registry Service (FRS) identifies and geospatially locates facilities, sites or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. Using vigorous verification and data management procedures, FRS integrates facility data from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal master facility records and provides EPA with a centrally managed, single source of comprehensive and authoritative information on facilities. This data set contains the subset of FRS facilities that link to Brownfields sites once the ACRES data has been integrated into the FRS database. Additional information on FRS is available at the EPA website https://www.epa.gov/enviro/facility-registry-service-frs.

This data layer provides access to Brownfields Properties as part of the CIMC web service, although the data are generally more broadly applicable. Brownfields are real properties, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these properties takes development pressures off of undeveloped, open land, and both improves and protects the environment. CIMC provides information on Brownfields properties for which information is reported back to EPA, as well as areas served by Brownfields grants programs. Brownfields properties may be mapped or listed, and property profiles can be accessed from either maps or lists. There are many properties that meet the definition of a brownfield but are not funded by our program. They may be funded by states, localities, private or non-profit entities. The Brownfields data are reported by grant recipients via the ACRES database and updated and stored in Envirofacts monthly. For more information on the data updates to Envirofacts, please visit the Envirofacts Data Update page. For more information on the data provided through this webservice, please see the processing steps below, and see more information here: https://www.epa.gov/cleanups/cimc-about-data#brownfieldsp. The CIMC web service was initially published in 2013, but the data are updated twice a month. The full schedule for data updates in CIMC is located here: https://ofmpub.epa.gov/frs_public2/frs_html_public_pages.frs_refresh_stats.

Brownfield properties are those in which the redevelopment or reuse of the property may be complicated by the presence or perception of contamination. EGLE provides grants, loans, tax increment financing and free environmental site assessments to facilitate the redevelopment of brownfield properties. More information about these incentive programs can be found at the Michigan BrownfieldRedevelopment Program website.

This dataset shows the locations of brownfield redevelopment projects that were supported by the state between 1992 and present. The data is refreshed approximately every 6 months or as needed. For questions about this data, please reach out to EGLE-Maps@Michigan.gov.

The Facility Registry Service (FRS) provides quality facility data to support EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment by identifying and geospatially locating facilities, sites, or places subject to environmental regulations of environmental interest. Facility data is improved with geospatial processing of incoming data and data curation tools to provide an integrated, dataset to partners and the public through a variety of methods and products. For more detailed information about these facilities, use the FRS Query tool. This layer provides location and facility information for sites found in the Assessment Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES). ACRES stores information reported by EPA Brownfields grant recipients on Brownfields properties assessed or cleaned up with grant funding, as well as information on Targeted Brownfields Assessments (TBA) performed by EPA Regions. To learn more about ACRES click here.

HazSites: Collects all hazardous sites and brownfields sites geographic information, latitude and longitude, along with the name of the hazardous site.

This data layer provides access to Recovery Act Funded Cleanup sites as part of the CIMC web service. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009 and all reporting on ARRA for these 3 programs was complete as of 2013. Out of the five EPA programs that distributed recovery act funding, three of them were cleanup programs: Brownfields, Superfund and Leaking Underground Storage Tanks. CIMC provides information on site cleanups that received ARRA Recovery Act funding for Superfund and Brownfields, but not Leaking Underground Storage Tanks. Data for Brownfields came from the ACRES database. Data for Superfund came from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) database. Data in CIMC no longer need to be updated for the ARRA program. For information on all EPA Recovery Act funded work, please see: http://archive.epa.gov/recovery/web/html/ and https://epamap17.epa.gov/arra/.
