How is Region 3 fostering RCRA Redevelopment and Reuse ?
Region 3 meets with RCRA facilities, States, various EPA programs, developers and communities to design practical solutions to property transfers, facility cleanups and redevelopment at RCRA high priority corrective action sites, while ensuring protection of human health and the environment. Region 3 has assisted in the redevelopment of both private and federally owned RCRA Corrective Action sites in a variety of ways including: coordinating with State voluntary and economic programs; providing comfort letters, prospective purchaser agreement and, prospective lessee agreement to alleviate concern regarding future environmental liability; deferring cleanups at federal facilities to the Superfund Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Program; accelerating EPA reviews to facilitate the cleanup on a targeted parcel of property; and providing completion determinations.
