EPA Brownfield Coalition Assessment Planning

The goals of the project are to develop a working list of brownfield properties, from which properties will be prioritized and assessed in a streamlined and cost-effective manner, conduct community engagement activities, and characterize, assess, and plan for remediation and reuse of brownfields sites to aid in the redevelopment of distressed, blighted, and otherwise underutilized properties. These goals will be accomplished by site-specific and non-site-specific assessment activities. Non-site-specific tasks include developing and periodically updating the inventory of potential brownfield properties, area-wide planning and conducting public outreach workshops/ preparing outreach materials relevant to the project. Site-specific tasks include performing assessments (20 Phase Is, 15 Phase IIs and Regulated Building Materials Surveys), conducting cleanup/reuse planning for 10 sites, preparing preliminary remediation plans (Analyses of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives) and associated cost estimates to review alternatives for further environmental investigation and/or remediation, and conduct preliminary redevelopment planning for selected TAs and/or sites to explore best reuse and economic potential.All work will follow and comply with all terms and specifications in the LCLGRPB’s approved Brownfields Assessment Coalition Cooperative Agreement Workplan (Attachment A).
