Reuse Examples - Green Space

The former Peterson Sand and Gravel site now serves as the site of a recently created lake and beaches at the Independence Grove Forest Preserve in Northern Illinois.

Superfund sites that are being reused as "green space" encompass a wide range of reuse activities including: agricultural reuse (growing crops, pasture land for livestock); recreational reuse (golf courses, ballfields, open space); and ecological reuse (wildlife sanctuaries, nature preserves, wetlands). Success story examples for each of these reuse types can be browsed by clicking on the site name below.
