"Revitalizing Contaminated Sites: Addressing Liability Concerns (The Revitalization Handbook)" addresses environmental cleanup liability risks associated with the revitalization of contaminated property or sites.
EPA works to clarify and address barriers to the timely cleanup and reuse of Brownfields and other contaminated properties.
First issued in 1998, EPA updated and reissued the Handbook in 2002 to include discussion of implementing the "Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002," new initiatives and guidance, and specific references to Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") liability.
