Technical Assistance

CCLR is the Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB) provider to EPA Regions 2, 9, and 10. This covers the states and territories of Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and Washington.

CCLR’s goal as the TAB provider is to guide communities through the complex processes and requirements particular to brownfield redevelopment. Our assistance enables communities to increase their capacity to independently manage the environmental and financial challenges of land recycling, as well as leveraging significant resources. Our team has worked with a range of brownfield communities, including rural areas struggling with economic and environmental challenges of closed mills or rail sites, tribal lands striving for revitalization, and urban neighborhoods working to remove blight from sites caused by prior industrial uses.

Resource Center

Our online resource center provides information on funding opportunities, contacts, events, and additional resources by state. It’s a great resource to stay up-to-date on the events and opportunities in your region, and also serves as a great starting point to find funding and technical assistance opportunities for your projects.
