Brownfields:
Brownfields are defined as real properties, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse, which may be complicated by the
presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. (There is some statutory exclusion
to this definition). The Brownfields Program is designed to empower states, Tribes, local communities, and other stakeholders
in economic redevelopment to work together to prevent, assess, safely cleanup, and reuse Brownfields.
