EPA is charged with protecting human health and the environment. How does the Brownfields Program fit within the Agencys mission?
The Program empowers States, communities, and other stakeholders to work together in a timely manner to prevent, inventory, assess, safely cleanup, and sustainably reuse brownfields. By minimizing the spread of contamination to ecosystems, and decreasing sprawl-related air, water and soil pollution, the Brownfields Program works to reduce human health risks and environmental contamination.
