MEMOP.ANDUM OF AGREEMENT ,rq

Introduction
uC
Purpose
The purpose of the Colorado Br0'M1fields Revolving Loan Fund {CBRLF) as
represented by its Board of Directors {the Board) is to facil itate the reuse and/or
redevelopment of contaminated sites by making low cost funding available for financing
environmental cleanups . The funding source for this endeavor is a Brownfields
Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund {CBRLF) grant from the Env ironmental Protection
Agency .
BrQwnfields are defined as abandoned, idled, or l!llder-utilized industrial and commercial facilities
where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental
contamination . A major barrier to redeveloping Brcwnfields sites in the Colorado Front Range
area is the fact that contaminated sites face not only the environmental challenge of cleanup, but
they also have marginal economic potential . Even in the growing Colorado real estate market,
properties are being avoided because ofliability and cleanup cost concerns .
The Cities of Commerce City, Englewood, Lakewood, Loveland , and Denver, the Colorado
Housing and Finance Authority (CHF A) and the Colmado Department of Public Health and
Environm~nt (CDPHE) have agn-ed to cooperate and to create the Colorado Brownfidds
Revolving Loan Fun,·. The initial focus of this fund will be to finance environmental cleanups
along the Colorado Fr ,:;,,t R,'Jlge within the five ci:ies . For that pu!J)Ose, a coordinated
application for funding was initiated to combine funding m the :\1etropolitan area .
The participating citi,s have a "Right of First Use " for the funds identified in the attached budget
(see Exhibit 3) for their uSt< in their political jurisdictions . Upon completion of the work plan in
the EPA Grant and upon closeout of the Cooperative Agreement ( see Exhibit 2), the coalition
intends to cont inue o~eration of the loan fund . It will at that time seek to expand this program to
other areas within the State . New members may be added in the future by submitting a request
for membership and signing an updated agreement that obligate s the new member! to a three year
membership under the terms and conditions contained in this original Memorand•Jm of
Agreement.
In general, CHF A and the other participants, will be responsible for outreach and marlceting the
CBRLF . CHFA will pro,ide financial expertise for reviewing appli cations to the Fund, the
Colorado Dep•;tment of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE ) will be the source of
technical knowledge needed to insure successful environmental clean ups; and local municipalities
will review the applications fo r co nsistency with local planning and development plans.
This arrangement is shown r;.-aphically ·:1n Exhibit 1.
The CBRLF'fl, enviii&led to be i'.sourct of(ca,oltillcr ~lhllp"ot~4blislY and/or

BACKGROUND. ANALYSIS. AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED:
The State Department of Health and Environment received a $1 .85 million grant from the US .
Environmental Protection Agency to estab :lsh a revolving loan fund to facilitate cleanup of
contaminated sites . Englewood is represented in a five-city coalition of front range
communities, which is established to administer the loan program . This coalition Is comprised
of participants from Commerce City, Lakewood, Loveland, and the City and County of Denver.
The Colorado Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund presents an opportunity for the

The new grant complements the Cl!y's existing Brownfield Pilot Program, which funds qualified
