Superfund Redevelopment Opportunity Sites
As part of the July 2017 Superfund Task Force Recommendations, EPA identified a list of Superfund National Priorities List sites with the greatest expected redevelopment and commercial potential. EPA developed this list to promote renewed focus on accelerating work and progress at all Superfund sites while working to successfully return Superfund sites to productive use in communities across the country. As EPA moves into the second year of the Superfund Task Force and beyond, EPA has used the lessons learned from this effort to expand support to more sites and broader redevelopment opportunities.
Check out our Redevelopment Story Map, an interactive tool that highlights Superfund Redevelopment Opportunity sites and helps promote revitalization.
Superfund redevelopment has helped communities reclaim and reuse thousands of acres of formerly contaminated land. EPA believes these sites have significant redevelopment opportunties.
EPA will focus redevelopment training, tools and resources towards these sites and others as additional Superfund Redevelopment opportunities are identified. EPA will work with developers interested in reusing these and other Superfund sites; will identify potentially interested businesses and industries to keep them apprised of redevelopment opportunities; and will continue to engage with community groups in cleanup and redevelopment activities to promote the successful redevelopment and revitalization of their communities.
This is not a complete list, rather it easily directs interested developers and potential owners to Superfund sites where there are redevelopment opportunities and potential. The list is intended to be dynamic; sites will move on and off the list as appropriate.
EPA remains dedicated to addressing risks and accelerating progress at all Superfund sites, not just those where redevelopment opportunities have been identified. The Superfund Task Force Recommendations are aimed at expediting cleanup at all Superfund sites.
As of January 17, 2018, the list is:
