What Is Brownfield Remediation?
Brownfield remediation is a process in which contamination at brownfield sites is addressed so that the sites can be redeveloped. Redevelopment of brownfields is important to many communities for a variety of reasons, ranging from wanting to preserve undeveloped land to a desire to make previously unusable contaminated land usable so that it can be part of the community. Because the environmental cleanup can be very complicated legally and environmentally, brownfield remediation often involves government agencies.
