Who is eligible for an Environmental Restoration Project grant?
A municipality is eligible for an Environmental Restoration Project grant if it is the owner of a property (ownership must be demonstrated before receiving the grant but not necessarily at the time of application) which may be contaminated with hazardous substances or petroleum. However, there are two important limitations. First, a municipality is not eligible if it was responsible for the hazardous substance or petroleum contamination. Second, a municipality is not eligible if the property is listed as Class 1 or 2 on the New York State Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Sites.
