Does IDEM conduct Brownfields Environmental Assessments at abandoned gas station sites?
Since the funding for BEAs conducted by the state comes from Superfund, the use of this service is prohibited at sites contaminated by petroleum products; the only exception is when the petroleum is co-mingled with other contaminants. Alternative funding includes the Indiana Brownfields Site Assessment Grants and Indiana Department of Commerce Community Planning Grants. These are state dollars not associated with Superfund. Also, the new Abandoned Tank Community Assistance Program is designed to aid communities in their efforts to clean up and redevelop abandoned tank sites by aiding local units of government, nonprofit groups and private entities in the closure of abandoned tank sites.
