Contamination Cleanup grants <br />pay for up to 75% of the costs of cleaning up contaminants defined under M.S. 115B.02, or petroleum <br />contamination that is not eligible for reimbursement under the Minnesota Petrofund. Eligible cleanup <br />costs do not include RAP implementation incurred before the award date of a grant unless the <br />application for the grant was submitted within 180 days after the RAP was approved by the MPCA. <br />Cleanup grant applicants must have an MPCA-approved RAP and must meet a pre-cleanup land value <br />vs. cleanup cost criteria. Both applications require a 25% local match, participation in the Metropolitan <br />Council's Local Housing Incentives Programs for Twin Cities Metro area applicants, and the serious <br />expectation that the site will be redeveloped. <br /> <br />Applications are ranked on the following criteria: <br /> <br />. Tax base increase resulting from the cleanup and development of the site. <br />. Social value of the cleanup, demonstrated by the number of jobs created through cleanup and <br />redevelopment. <br />. An MPCA evaluation of the reduced threat to public health and the environment as a result of <br />cleanup. <br />. Likelihood that the site will be cleaned up without government money. <br />. Amount of the cleanup cost. <br />. Commitment of local municipality to pay for the local match <br /> <br />4;. <br /> <br />http://www.deed.state.mn.us/Community/contam/Proglnfo.htm <br /> <br />6/11/2008 <br />
