Fact Sheet: Brownfield Sites and Supplemental Environmental Projects

Question and answer fact sheet on the complementary role of supplemental environmental projects (SEPs) at brownfield sites. Issued November 2006.

On March 10, 2015, OECA issued the "Supplemental Environmental Projects Policy 2015 Update" and where there are inconsistencies with this fact sheet, the 3/10/15 SEP policy supersedes and takes precedence.
