The Brownfield Inventory Tool (BIT) is a Free, web-based, comprehensive brownfield program management tool. BIT was designed especially for users working under an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cooperative agreement requiring the submittal of a Property Profile Form, but any entity working on establishing a site inventory database will find BIT very helpful. Cities, regional coalitions, and Tribes can also use BIT to consolidate environmental and administrative information from sites in multiple programs.

Users may enter detailed site data, upload documents and data, and generate and export a variety of reports, including the Property Profile Form. BIT can also be used as a collaborative tool where specific inventory data can be accessed by multiple users IF permission by the primary user is granted. All information entered into BIT is username/password protected to ensure privacy.

BIT is very user friendly and instructions can be found on every page of the program.
BIT was developed by the TAB (Technical Assistance to Brownfields communities) program at Kansas State University with funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Cooperative Agreement TR83389401.

A prototype of BIT was developed by EPA Region 8 in 2004 and BIT is the updated version of this prototype.
