Can I receive funding for completed or planned cleanups, conceived research projects, or starting an environmentally oriented business?
If the property becomes a Superfund site, the federal government may be able to go back to the original owners for cleanup funding. See information about funding opportunities under EPA’s SBIR program in Question 11. Check with your state for other programs. Also, please note that when purchasing property, you should ensure that as part of the purchase agreement, the previous owner indicates that the property is free of impediments from contaminants and pollution.
