Long-term stewardship (LTS) applies to sites and properties where long-term management of contaminated environmental media is necessary to protect human health and the environment over time. This report addresses a variety of challenges facing EPA and its partners responsible for ensuring LTS at formerly impaired properties. - Sustainable Redevelopment of Formerly Impaired Properties
EPA's programs and partners are protecting human health and the environment by promoting sustainable redevelopment through enforcement policies, and through encouraging and facilitating the use of green building and green space designs in the redevelopment and reuse of Superfund sites.
