EPA?s Brownfields Program is designed to empower states communities and other stakeholders in economic redevelopment to work together in a timely manner to prevent, assess, safely clean-up and sustain the reuse of Brownfields. A Brownfield is a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant and may include properties contaminated by petroleum, controlled substances and mine scarred land. EPA?s Brownfields Program provides financial and technical assistance for Brownfields activities through an approach based on four main goals: (1) Protecting the Environment, (2) Promoting Partnerships, (3) Strengthening the Marketplace, and (4) Sustaining Reuse. Responsibility for the management and implementation of the response portion of the Brownfields Program as well as achievement of the stated goals is vested principally in OBCR and its regional counterparts.
