EPA Database On RCRA Cleanups, Brownfields Revitalation Update Available

The mid-Atlantic office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencydeveloped a user-friendly online map to facilitate searches on the status of regional hazardous waste RCRA Corrective Action facilities.

 

EPA requires that RCRA corrective action facilities clean up contaminants that are being released or that were released in the past and provide this information to the public. The map enables users to perform geographical searches of the cleanup status of individual facilities and other information based on city, state, county or street address.

 

The state by state maps are available online.

 

Also available is theSpring edition of the Land Revitalization Update that includes articles on: PA receives $100 million for brownfields redevelopment under new Stimulus Package; Federal Brownfields Tax Incentive Extended through 2009; Repowering the Nation's Contaminated Sites and Abandoned Mine Lands With Renewable Energy; Pennsylvania Mountainside Reclaimed as World Class Nature Park; A Watershed Approach to Reclaiming Appalachia’s Coal Mines, and much more.

 

The Update is distributed via email and online to stakeholders interested in the cleanup and redevelopment of contaminated properties in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
