About Superfund Redevelopment
Superfund Redevelopment at EPA helps communities return some of the nation's worst hazardous waste sites to safe and productive uses. While cleaning up these Superfund sites and making them protective of human health and the environment, the Agency is working with communities and other partners in considering future use opportunities and integrating appropriate reuse options into the cleanup process. The Agency is also working with communities on already remediated sites to ensure long-term stewardship of the sites remedies and to promote reuse. More about the program...

Superfund Redevelopment Spotlight
Once a disposal area for industrial solvents, the FMC site is now being used as a model airplane flying field by a local aeromodeling club. After ensuring that aeromodeling use would not interfere with the remedy, EPA Region 5 worked with the local club and the site owner in order to facilitate the reuse process. The aeromodeling club has permission to use the site for a limited time - the property is currently for sale and will be sold and redeveloped in the future. In return for using the site any day of the week, the aeromodeling club keeps the field clean and neat and mows the grass regularly. The presence of aeromodelers has the added benefit of keeping trespassers off the site and helping to combat any lingering stigma associated with the property's past contamination.
