Identifying, Assessing, and Cleaning Up Petroleum Brownfields The 2018 Brownfields Utilization, Investment, and Local Development (BUILD) Act reauthorized EPA's liability provisions, and state and tribal response programs. Through passage of the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act in 2002, brownfields policies that EPA developed over the years were passed into law. Petroleum-contaminated sites were not eligible for traditional brownfields funding. Initially, EPA provided small amounts of seed money to local governments that launched hundreds of two-year brownfield pilot projects. Since its inception in 1995, EPA's Brownfields Program has grown into a results-oriented program that has changed the way contaminated property is perceived, addressed, and managed. Cleaning up and reinvesting in petroleum contaminated properties increases local tax bases, facilitates job growth, provides new amenities for the community such as parks and recreation, utilizes existing infrastructure, and improves and protects the environment. States determine the prioritization and risk of petroleum releases by considering factors such as the release volume, total population exposed, proximity or impact to groundwater aquifers, drinking water wells contaminated, source water protection areas, unique exposure pathways, or environmental justice communities. OBLR awards brownfields grants for the assessment and cleanup of petroleum brownfields, prioritizing relatively low risk releases. OUST focuses on the cleanup of federally regulated leaking underground storage tank sites, prioritizing high risk releases. EPA’s Office of Underground Storage Tanks (OUST) and Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization (OBLR) jointly focus on the cleanup and reuse of petroleum contaminated sites. ![]() Petroleum brownfields, such as old abandoned gas stations, are being cleaned up and reused to the benefit of communities across the country. Petroleum can contaminate groundwater, the source of drinking water for nearly half of the U.S. These sites blight the surrounding neighborhoods and threaten human health and the environment. Of the estimated 450,000 brownfield sites in the U.S., approximately one-half are thought to be impacted by petroleum, much of it from leaking underground storage tanks (USTs) at old gas stations.
