Superfund Redevelopment in the News
- Ingram-Richardson Superfund Site
On September 12, 2007, the Ingram-Richardson site in Frankfort, Indiana was determined to be ready for commercial/industrial use. EPA issued a Ready for Reuse (RfR) determination for the site that has clarified this future reuse type. An RfR determination is an environmental status report that provides specific information about a site, including the nature and extent of contamination and the status of the property with respect to federal and state requirements. The RfR determination is expected to help Clinton County officials pursue reuse activities at this 17-acre site.
