* There is no
statewide list of BF sites eligible to receive financial incentives or
in need of cleanup.
*There is a listing of BF sites that have
been assessed.
*All non-Master List sites could also be
considered BFs..
* In
Baltimore City, where considerable effort has gone into inventorying brownfield sites,
it is estimated that at least 50% of all vacant / underutilized
industrial land is contaminated (and even clean parcels may have
“per-ceived contam-ination” issues). Paull & Bartsch, 2001.
*MDE will be putting up an internet GIS
database tracking system in the next couple of months. |
* The EACC must
annually submit a list of areas or municipalities that qualify as
econom-ically dis-tressed areas.
*MassDEP has a list
of “release” sites.
* Requires targeted
audits of all sites with AULs.
*Doing effort with
Harvard to develop a computerized inventory that works with the State’s
GIS system and layers data sets for Underutilized Commercial and
Industrial Properties (U-CIP).
*The Gover-nor's BF office also administers
"BF-Jump-Start," an on-line real estate listing for sellers
and buyers of BF properties. |
*A BF Redevelop-ment
Board is respon-sible for prioritizing environment-tally contam-inated STATE
facilities and allocating available funds from the State Sites Clean-up
Fund for their remed-iation.
*There is no formal
inventory system for BF prop-erties.
*MDEQ staff work
closely with local government units to identify propereties with
redevel-opment potential and funding sources. |
* DEP maintains a
ilist of all “known
contaminated sites in New Jersey” (> 8,000 sites). W/i this
list, DEP has identified sites that meet the BF definition--based on a
requirement in the NJ BF law and a directive from Gov. Whitman.
Some of the concerns from the regulated community have been alleviated
by excluding the owner's name on residential properties.
*Under ISRA, the
General Information Notification includes a question asking submitters
to note whether they consider their industrial estab-lishment a BF site.
* BF Site
Inventory (> 1,300 sites) – to be prioritized by the BF
Redevelopment Task Force (mandated by the 1998 statute). Does not
require owner’s consent.
* Online BF Site
Marketing Inventory database (I-MAP) (www.state.nj.us/osp/ brownfld/njbsmi.htm
. Maintained by the Office of State Planning. Contains only about 100
sites. Gov’t-owned sites are entered automatically. Private site
owners are required to sign waivers before their sites are included.
Most refuse to do so. (Concern is not over liability, but loss of
market value.) |
* Provides BF
Inventory Grants (BIGs) to municipal-ities and econ-omic develop-ment
agencies to inventory their BF prop-erties and post those available for
redevelop-ment on the web in the PA Site Finder. For each site that is
posted, grantees with an approved application will receive $1,000 up to
$50,000 per grantee.
* The Industrial
Sites Environ-mental Assess-ment Act (Act 4 of 1995) provides ongoing
grants to municipalities and EDAs to assess industrial sites in
distressed areas.
* The Pennsyl-vania
Key Sites Initiative allows towns to target key sites and designate them
for special attention at DEP. |
