- Superfund Site Reuse Fact Sheets
Region 5 has developed a number of fact sheets about Superfund sites in the Region. These fact sheets describe when and how a site is (or will be) ready for reuse. The fact sheets detail reuse activities at the site, the site's planning and development process, geographic location, past cleanup activities, and contacts for more information.
