The TCEQ Brownfields Site Assessment Program (BSA) layer is used to identify the geographic location of all "Active and Inactive BSA" sites within the State of Texas. This data layer can be used for a variety of purposes, including: the plotting of BSA sites on maps; utilization by field personnel; and performing spatial analysis on how the sites affect their surroundings. There are several aspects of the Brownfields Program, all of which begin with the EPA providing funding for Petroleum and/or Hazardous Waste assessments and/or cleanups. This is outlined in the Memorandum of Agreement between the EPA and TCEQ. The EPA provides funding directly for voluntary cleanup programs to approved state agencies. In Texas, this money goes to the Railroad Commission (RRC) and TCEQ. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Brownfields are properties that may have hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants present. EPA’s Brownfields Program provides grants and technical assistance to communities, states, cities, local governments, nonprofit organizations, regional councils of government, tribes and others to assess, safely clean up and sustainably reuse these contaminated properties. Cleaning up and reinvesting in brownfields protects human health and the environment, reduces blight, and takes development pressures off greenspaces and working lands. The TCEQ offers technical advice and education, through its relationship with the EPA, for some brownfields redevelopment projects where local government is supporting or playing a key role. The TCEQ will assess eligible sites and accept applications as long as resources are available.
