A site can carry more than one flag. The grant flags show which kinds of EPA brownfield funding a site is listed under.
What this data holds
- Acreage isn't in EPA's national data, so we don't show site sizes.
- We hold no flood data for these sites.
- We show the city and county, not street addresses.
- Grant recipients report these sites to EPA. A flag is EPA's record, not a site visit.
