The EPA brownfield program offers a number of funding opportunities to address contaminated sites through their Multipurpose, Assessment, RLF, and Cleanup (MARC) grants. These grants, also known as 104k grants, are available to local units of government, tribes, and non-profit organizations. The Multipurpose, Assessment, and Cleanup grants were recently announced by EPA for Fiscal Year 2025. More information on eligibility and program requirements can be found here.
Should you need assistance or a letter of acknowledgement from EGLE for your EPA 104k grant application, please contact Ron Smedley, EGLE Federal Brownfield Specialist at SmedleyR@Michigan.gov or 517-242-9048. Requests for letters of acknowledgement should include: applicant's address and email, type of grant, amount being requested, and any other relevant site specific information. Requests for letters of acknowledgement should be made to Ron no later than 11/1/2025.
The EGLE Brownfield Assessment and Redevelopment Section can assist unsuccessful applicants with conducting environmental site assessments and risk management activities using other state-funded or federally-funded brownfield programs.
A list of Michigan applicants and grant awards for each annual funding cycle is provided below.
