The mission of EPA's Land Revitalization Team is to restore land and other natural resources into sustainable community assets that maximize beneficial economic, ecological and social uses and ensure protection of human health and the environment.
The Land Revitalization Team's mission contributes significantly to the EPA's strategic planning goals by placing protective, sustainable, and energy-efficient solutions at the forefront when considering solutions for restoring contaminated properties to useful life.
