Under the EPA's Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB) Communities program, the Community Brownfields Foundation (CBF) and CCLR provide in-kind technical assistance and training to communities and other stakeholders on brownfields issues with the goal of increasing the community's understanding and involvement in brownfield cleanup and revitalization. The TAB grants serve as an independent source of information assisting communities with community involvement, better understanding the health impacts of brownfield sites, science and technology relating to brownfield site assessment, remediation, and site preparation activities, brownfield finance questions, and information on integrated approaches to brownfield cleanup and redevelopment.

Originally signed into law in 1997 and extended through December 31, 2011, the Brownfields Tax Incentive encourages the cleanup and reuse of brownfields. Under the Brownfields Tax Incentive, environmental cleanup costs are fully deductible in the year incurred, rather than capitalized and spread over time. Improvements in 2006 expanded the tax incentive to include petroleum cleanup.

During the statutory formulation of the Wyoming VRP, the Wyoming Legislature recognized the need to encourage anyone handling contaminants to do all they could to prevent those contaminants from being inadvertently released to the environment. As a result, the requirement to be implementing a P2 Plan or the alternative minimum pollution prevention operating standards was added to the eligibility criteria necessary for VRP participation through a new rule incorporated into the VRP.

The Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP) sets out a process that can be used by owners of contaminated sites, or by potential developers, to quickly reach decisions about required remedial activities and put contaminated sites back into productive reuses.
