Brownfields Reauthorization Act of 2025

What this bill does

This bill extends the EPA's Brownfields Program through 2030 and increases funding for contaminated property cleanup.
States, tribes, communities, and nonprofits can access grants to assess and remediate polluted sites.
Maximum grant per site rises to $1 million, cost-sharing drops to 10%, and waivers apply to disadvantaged areas.
