Accomplishment Counted

Accomplishment Counted identifies whether the property is currently included in the count of properties for a particular Brownfields performance measure and indicates to which Cooperative Agreement/TBA that accomplishment is associated. Note, only one Assessment or Cleanup activity per property can be counted towards Brownfields performance measures.

Accomplishment Pending

Pending Accomplishments are listed for properties where the data would contribute to a particular Brownfields performance measure, but the data have not yet been approved in the workflow. Once the work package has been approved and gone through the workflow, the data will count towards the performance measure.

Property Geographic Information

The property pin point can be moved to an exact location on the map, for example, it can be placed on top of a building or on a specific part of a large parcel. This action will update the latitude and longitude accordingly. To move the pin, first click the "Edit Fields" link next to the map. Then click the map pin and drag to the new location. Note that this does not update the address location.

Leveraged Funding

The term "leveraged" refers to those non-EPA Brownfields funds that have some link or nexus to the efforts of an EPA cooperative agreement-funded activity. (State/tribal 128a funding, Targeted Brownfields Assessments, Brownfields RLF loans/subgrants, or any other EPA Brownfields grants or resources provided by other project partners are NOT counted as leveraged.)

Leveraged Funding

Assessment Activities Funding

For Phase II activities, the entire budgeted amount should be added to the funding amount line.

Assessment Activities

Activities associated with the environmental assessment of a property. Specific activities and completion requirements vary by State or Region. Please contact your Regional Project Officer for details specific to your area.

Assessment Activity Funding

Funding used to start and/or complete an environmental assessment activity at a property. Can come from an EPA Brownfields grant or other leveraged sources.

Cleanup Activities

Activities associated with the environmental cleanup of a property. Specific activities and completion requirements vary by State or Region. Please contact your Regional Project Officer for details specific to your area.

Cooperative Agreement

References to grant have been changed to Cooperative Agreement in ACRES. This has been done to reinforce the cooperative nature of the EPA funding.
As defined in the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act (31 U.S.C.6304 and 6305), a grant or a cooperative agreement is a legal instrument used by a Federal agency to enter into a relationship whose principal purpose is assistance (that is, the transfer of something of value to the recipient to carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized by U.S. law). Thus, grants and cooperative agreements complement procurement contracts and other instruments used for the very different purpose of acquiring goods and services for the direct benefit or use of the U.S. Government. When providing assistance, agencies must use grants when substantial involvement between the recipient and the Government is not contemplated and cooperative agreements when substantial involvement is contemplated.

Work Package

A work package is an electronic set of data that are entered, reviewed, and approved together. A work package in ACRES is an electronic version of the Property Profile Form or the Job Training Reporting Form.

Cooperative Agreement Accomplishments

This is a Cleanup Cooperative Agreement and is not eligible for Assessment accomplishments.

Data Reviewer

The Data Reviewer is an EPA Regional Representative to whom you submit your work package upon completion. This person is identified in the terms and conditions of the Cooperative Agreement, also referred to as the Regional Project Officer.

Pre-POP Authorization

Cooperative Agreement Recipients can request that activities completed prior to the Period of Performance (POP) start date, including assessment activities, be funded through Cooperative Agreement funds.

Primary Contact

The Primary Contact is the EPA Regional Representative point of contact for inquiries about a Cooperative Agreement or TBA.

Primary Cooperative Agreement Contact

The Primary Cooperative Agreement Contact is the Cooperative Agreement Recipient point of contact for inquiries about a Cooperative Agreement.

Sharing - Help

ACRES provides you the ability to work together on a work package. From the Open Work Packages tab on the Home page, the 'Owner' starts the work package and is the person to submit the work package to EPA. The owner can select 'collaborators' who are already ACRES users and are associated with the Cooperative Agreement.

If you are the owner and don't see the property on your Open Work Packages tab, open the work package from your All My Projects tab and save it to create a work package first. Then access the work package from your Open Work Packages tab.

It's important that users sign up with their own account in the system to ensure data tracking, management and security.

If you are the owner and want to share a work package with people not listed, they will need to do two things in order for you to share with them.

Obtain an ACRES account. This is easy to do using the Registering for ACRES website (http://epa.gov/acres/register.htm) The users will need to know the CA# and State to be associated with the Cooperative Agreement.
If the user already has an ACRES account, they need to be associated to the CA. They can easily add the Cooperative Agreement from their home page (My Cooperative Agreements tab) by entering the CA# and State.

What does the lock mean? Lock When a user clicks 'Enter Data', the work package is locked. Only one user can make edits at a time. As soon as the user finishes editing (logs out, times out, or moves to another area of ACRES) the lock will be removed.

Not sure what a 'Cooperative Agreement' is? Used to seeing "Grants"

References to grant have been changed to Cooperative Agreement in ACRES. This has been done to reinforce to cooperative nature of the EPA funding.

As defined in the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act (31 U.S.C.6304 and 6305), a grant or a cooperative agreement is a legal instrument used by a Federal agency to enter into a relationship whose principal purpose is assistance (that is, the transfer of something of value to the recipient to carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized by U.S. law). Thus, grants and cooperative agreements complement procurement contracts and other instruments used for the very different purpose of acquiring goods and services for the direct benefit or use of the U.S. Government. When providing assistance, agencies must use grants when substantial involvement between the recipient and the Government is not contemplated and cooperative agreements when substantial involvement is contemplated.

Enter Data Manually

This feature cancels the lat/long validation for this property, allowing you to type in the address and lat/long values. This is not recommended unless ACRES can not display lat/long values - a function of google not recognizing the address (this is rare).

Cleanup Activity Start Date

This is the date that the cleanup contractor mobilizes to the site and starts cleanup activities. Examples of cleanup activities include:

site preparation
clearing & grubbing
soil excavation
soil, water, and ground water treatment
removal of tanks
disposal of cleanup-generated waste streams
hazardous building materials abatement
demolition needed to allow cleanup to safely proceed
operation and maintenance activities.

Cleanup Activity Completion Date

This is the date when a property's cleanup activities are completed to a regulatory risk-based standard. It typically occurs when:

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 grant 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.

Cleanup Activity

Please verify that you have entered the Cleanup start/complete date and not the pre-POP start/end date. Not sure? Reference the Cleanup Activity dates help icons for clarification.

Acres Cleaned Up

The number of acres that have been cleaned up is only the acreage for the portion of the property that has been addressed by environmental cleanup activities.

A property is considered cleaned up when it is made available for reuse as a result of the environmental cleanup activity.

Cleanup Jobs Leveraged

This number includes short-term jobs (i.e., with a duration of less than one year) typically leveraged during the cleanup/remediation stage. Only actual jobs should be reported; planned or expected jobs should not be reported until they are realized. Typical jobs include cleanup/remediation contractors hired to perform cleanup/remediation work.

To calculate number of jobs, use the formula:
FTE = Cumulative Hours Worked/Cumulative Hours in a Full-time Schedule *

* total number of cumulative hours in a full-time schedule (i.e., 520 hours per quarter, 2080 per year)

If payroll records or the exact hours worked are not available, leveraged jobs can be estimated by multiplying the average cleanup/remediation crew size by the fraction of a year worked. For example, if a cleanup/remediation crew of 6 worked for six months (half a year), there would be 3 cleanup jobs leveraged.

Redevelopment Jobs Leveraged

This number includes short-term jobs (i.e., with a duration of less than one year) typically leveraged during the construction stage and long-term jobs that typically occur as a result of the new or enhanced reuse at the property (i.e., with a duration of more than one year). Only actual jobs should be reported; planned or expected jobs should not be reported until they are realized.

To calculate number of jobs, use the formula:
FTE = Cumulative Hours Worked/Cumulative Hours in a Full-time Schedule *

* total number of cumulative hours in a full-time schedule (i.e., 520 hours per quarter, 2080 per year)

If payroll records or the exact hours worked are not available, leveraged jobs can be estimated by multiplying the average redevelopment crew size by the fraction of a year worked. For example, if a redevelopment crew of 6 worked for six months (half a year), there would be 3 redevelopment jobs leveraged.

Cleanup Activity

Please verify that you have entered the Cleanup start/complete date and not the pre-POP start/end date. Not sure? Reference the Cleanup Activity dates help icons for clarification.

Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC)

Indicate the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property. Please make sure to enter this information at the end of Phase I.

Contaminant/Media Found

Indicate what types of contaminants have been identified or detected through the assessment activities, marking the boxes for each and every type of contaminant that has been detected. Levels may or may not exceed relevant standards set by the state/jurisdiction. Please make sure to enter the Found information at the end of Phase II.

Part of a Larger Redevelopment Effort

For this Cooperative Agreement:

Yes indicates the activity is part of a larger assemblage of properties (e.g. one of several industrial properties cleaned up and turned into a park, or a series of small parcels addressed, combined and then bundled for a shopping mall).

No indicates this activity is a stand-alone, single property project.

Cleanup Completion Documentation

Select the type of documentation used to determine the cleanup completion date. A selection is required.

(1) 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

(2) 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.

New Number of Participants Entering Training

The number of Participants Entering Training includes the number of veterans entering training.
If there are veterans entering training, be sure to enter the number in the next section as well.

Average Hourly Wage

Quarterly Average Hourly Wage
Enter the average hourly wage of graduates in their initial post-training employment.

Cumulative Average Hourly Wage
The cumulative 'Average Hourly Wage' is automatically calculated by taking a weighted average of two data elements: Number of Participants Completing Training and Average Hourly Wage.

For example:
In Quarter 1, 5 JT participants completed training and received jobs at an average hourly wage of $10.

In Quarter 2, 10 participants completed training and received jobs at an average hourly wage of $20.

5 participants * $10/hr =	$50
10 participants * $20/hr =	$200
Total Wages Per Hour	$250
$250 / 15 participants =	$16.67 (cumulative average hourly wage)

NFA/ Environmental Professional Certified
Document Issued Date

If the property has received a No Further Action Letter or equivalent cleanup completion documentation, indicate the date upon which this documentation was issued. If the property is not enrolled in a state program such that this documentation does not apply, leave this field blank.

If both documents have been received, enter the date that the NFA Letter was issued.

Participants Obtaining Employment

Enter the number of graduates from the grant funded training program who have obtained employment of any kind. Self-employed graduates should be included in this count. The grant recipients’ quantitative reporting of the cumulative total should not reflect any decreases for graduates who had obtained employment, but later report losing their jobs. If desired, provide a brief narrative description in Supplemental Performance Measure Information for any reported job losses.

EPA Jobs Created

This is the number of jobs created by this EPA cooperative agreement during cleanup. Typical jobs created are by the cooperative agreement recipient to execute the terms of the grant for the recipient entity. They are typically considered a permanent job and are low in number (only 1 or 2 per grant). Note that this job count excludes consultant services.

Multi-Story Buildings

For properties with multi-story buildings only, check the "Multi-Story Buildings" box and indicate the total square footage

Cooperative Agreement Summary

DEFINITIONS

Properties: As defined in the Brownfields Program's Property Profile Form (PPF) it is a "contiguous piece of land under unitary ownership." A "site" for some programs may include more than one property. When information is available provide the number of properties for a site as part of your total property count.

Enrolled: Enrolled for the purposes of this program activity level sheet, properties (or site) activities may include oversight, enforcement, assessment, cleanup, cleanup planning, implementation of institutional or engineering controls, and monitoring. For some programs there may be an official entrance procedure (registration and acceptance, i.e. VCPs, Response Programs) whereas, for other programs it may include properties identified for action(s) by response Program officials. Properties where other technical assistance is provided should not be included, but instead captured under #5. For example, if 128(a) program funding contributes to several programs under your response program (i.e., VCP, Brownfields, and UST/LUST) and these programs oversaw cleanup plans, IC tracking, etc. for 100 properties (or sites) then this number of 100 would be included in response to #2.

Response Program: Any state or tribal land program benefiting from CERCLA 128(a) funding may include a response program that focuses on hazardous and/or solid waste contamination. A response program may include both broader capacity building activities (e.g., regulation development, database tracking enhancements; or staff training) and site-specific activities (e.g., brownfield assessment or cleanup, cleanup oversight, or public participation for cleanup planning).

Required institutional controls (or land use controls): As required by state/tribal/local law, regulation, or ordinance as necessary to protect the environment and/or public health. In place institutional controls (as defined in the Brownfields Program's PPF) generally fall under four general categories:

Proprietary control (e.g., easement, covenants)
Governmental controls (e.g., ordinances, zoning, building codes, drilling permit requirements)
Information devices (e.g., state registries, deed notices, advisories) and
Enforcement/permit tools (e.g., orders, permits, consent decrees).

Assistance: Examples of assistance include: working with potential purchasers for properties not being addressed under the response program; supporting a brownfield grantee to identify next steps for a particular property where they have a concern for contamination; technical review of site assessment documents, quality assurance plans, CERCLA 104(k) grantee applications, etc. This section would not be for those reviews/technical assistance provided to properties (or sites) listed under #2.¹

Brownfields Inventory: EPA recognizes the varied scope of state and tribal response programs and will not require states and tribes to develop a “list” of brownfields sites. However, at a minimum, the site or tribe should provide a reasonable estimate of the total number of brownfield sites in their jurisdiction.¹

^{1. For more information about the Brownfields Inventory, please review 'Timely survey and inventory of brownfields sites in state or tribal land’ on page 4 of the Funding Guidance for State and Tribal Response Programs Fiscal Year 2015, available here: http://www.epa.gov/brownfields/pdfs/FY15%10128a%Guidance%20FINAL.pdf}

PAR Report Help

To produce a report:

Select from column 1:

Select one or more accomplishment types. The report can be further refined by selecting grant type(s). The selected accomplishment type determines which grant types are available. For example, select ‘Assessments Completed’ and the grant types include assessments, TBAs and State and Tribals. Select ‘Cleanups Completed’ and additional grant types are available (cleanups and RLFs).

OR
Select an alternative grant type (not typical accomplishments). Job Training will display grant information on the number of trainees obtaining employment and their average hourly pay. Area Wide Planning will display information on associated properties and funding expended. ARRA will display information on the ARRA grants from 2009 (these accomplishments are separate from regular ARC grants and do not count towards GPRA totals).

OR
Enter a Cooperative Agreement number to view accomplishments on a single grant.

Select from column 2 (optional):

Select accomplishment year(s). Defaults to current year. Depress the 'Ctrl' key when selecting more than one year.

Select from column 3 (optional):

If you select a region only, the report will cover all states within the region. If you select a state(s), the report covers only the accomplishments in the selected state(s).

Click the 'Run Report' button and the report displays information in tabs. The first tab is a report summary and each additional tab contains accomplishment details by type.

Site-Specific Deliverables

Include a listing of site-specific products completed during the quarter; include dates. These outputs should align with the outputs in your approved workplan.
Examples include:
- sites entered into the inventory
- site eligibility determination for site X
- signed access agreement for site X
- the sampling and analysis plan/quality assurance project plan for site X
- ABCA or other cleanup planning documents for site X
- Community Relations Plan for site X

List other deliverables or work products completed in the reporting period. The following are examples:
- properties considered for grant activities
- community meeting minutes or summaries
- educational brochures
- newspaper articles about the grant properties or the grant program
- photographs of properties

Resources Leveraged

Describe the efforts you have made during this quarter to leverage additional funds/resources to support your project(s). Describe how these funds are being used to contribute to the performance and success of your project(s) and the amounts.

This includes, but is not limited to, funds and other resources leveraged from businesses, non-profit organizations, education and training, providers, and/or Federal, state, tribal and local governments.

These efforts should align with the leveraging efforts you proposed in your grant application and match leveraging data reported in ACRES.

Budget and Overall Project Status

Include an estimate of the time and funds needed to complete the activities identified in the approved workplan, comparing that estimate with the time and funds remaining, and provide an explanation for any changes. If overall, the project is expected to be on target, please state so. For example, individual tasks may be behind schedule, but overall, is the project expected to be completed on time and within budget?

Modifications to the Workplan

Include a description of any modifications to the workplan that were approved during the reporting period. Also mention in this section modifications to the workplan that will be proposed in the next reporting period. If none, please state so.

Please note that mentioning a proposed modification or item requiring approval in the quarterly progress report does not satisfy the requirement for submitting a request to EPA. Modifications requiring formal approval include changes to the budget and the approved scope of work. Other items requiring approval, such as selection of grant sites, are identified under the terms and conditions of the cooperative agreement.

Please also explain in this section any delays or other problems (if any) encountered during this reporting period for each activity, and describe the corrective measures that are planned. Also mention what kind of assistance (such as training or technical support) is needed to address these problems in the future. If none, please state so.

Submit a revised schedule if changes have occurred. If none, please state so.

Property-Specific

Use these tables to track key milestones for each approved site worked on throughout the grant. Begin entering and updating site data in ACRES at the Phase I or greater stage of the project (not at site eligibility). Ensure final deliverable dates are consistent in all reports and in ACRES.

Project Progress

Progress reported in this section will clearly identify only those activities performed during the reporting period that were undertaken with EPA funds, and will relate EPA-funded activities to the objectives and milestones agreed upon in the grant workplan. For each task in the workplan, describe the work ongoing/accomplished during the quarter. Descriptions should correlate to the activities (tasks, subtasks, objectives, milestones, etc.) agreed upon in the grant workplan.

Generate Quarterly Report

Quarterly Reports are a mandatory reporting requirement. Use ACRES to simplify your reporting. Click the green button to start a new report for the current reporting period for any of your associated CAs. If a report for the period has already been submitted/approved, you can view it by clicking the blue button. Note that if a CA does not have any associated properties, the report feature is not available. Enter the associated property(ies) and then return to this feature to create your report. Be sure to update your property information in ACRES before starting the report as data is extracted to auto-fill many of your reporting fields.

ACRES - Associated Brownfields Sites

These are the sites within the project area that already have an ACRES ID because they have received EPA brownfields resources for assessment and/or cleanup.

Catalyst Site(s) within the BF AWP Project Area

These are properties within the project area that are considered to be the catalyst/high priority brownfield sites within the BF AWP project area as identified in the grant workplan.

Additional catalyst/high priorty BR site(s)

These are properties within the project area that are not listed above because they do not have an ACRES ID/have not received resources for assessment and/or cleanup, but they are considered as the catalyst/high priority brownfield sites under this CA.

Share Highlights

Include highlights from the final brownfields area-wide plan, include overall BF AWP project approach and the community's goals as identified through the BF AWP process.

Past Land Use

Conditions prior to changes related to the brownfields area-wide plan.

Future Land Use

As described within the brownfields area-wide plan.

Leveraged Resources

"Leveraged Resources" includes non-EPA Brownfields funds or resources that have a demonstrable link or connection to the BF AWP grant.

Include resources leveraged before or after BF AWP grant award. Leveraged resources may pre-date the award of the BF AWP cooperative agreement in situations where the BF AWP grant project happened as a result of or alongside other complementary revitalization efforts within the project area.
Any leveraged resource that is reported under a brownfields assessment or cleanup site record associated to the BF AWP grant must not be reported in this section. This ensures the leveraged resource is not double-counted.
