What is EPA looking for with regard to assessment/cleanup/leveraged accomplishments?
An assessment accomplishment is defined as property assessed. For the Brownfields Program, a property assessed is defined as a property at which an environmental assessment phase I, environmental phase II, a supplemental environmental assessment, or a clean up plan was completed using Brownfields funds. A cleanup accomplishment is defined as property cleaned. For the Brownfields Program, a cleanup completion is reached when one of the following conditions occurs: • A “clean” or “no further action” letter (or its equivalent) has been issued by the state or tribe under its voluntary response program (or its equivalent) for cleanup activities at the property; or • The cooperative agreement recipient or property owner, upon the recommendation of an environmental professional, has determined and documented that on-property work is finished. Ongoing operation and maintenance activities or monitoring may continue after a cleanup completion designation has been made. Leveraged accomplishments
