Cleanup Enforcement

Any contaminated, abandoned, or inactive site that will undergo redevelopment may be a candidate for an ER3 pilot. In general, EPA is looking for former contaminated, inactive, or abandoned sites where:

1. There is a potential developer
2. Real or perceived liability concerns are hindering the redevelopment of the property
3. The site is at the beginning of the development process and
4. The developer is willing to work with the Agency to incorporate sustainable development concepts into the project.

EPA will also discuss the potential incentives with the applicable state in an effort to help address any concerns about potential state liability and move the pilot project forward.

Examples of potential ER3 candidates and projects that incorporate principles of sustainable development can be found in the ER3 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (PDF) (6 pp, 77kb).
