Program description
The RLF Grant Program provides grants to help nonprofits, tribal entities, and local governments who are not potentially liable under CERCLA section 107 assess or clean up brownfields that they own. DTSC accepts applications continuously, subject to fund availability. In 2023, there is not sufficient funding in the Revolving Loan Fund, therefore DTSC is not accepting applications at this time.
