RCRA Brownfield Pilots

In 1999, EPA launched a RCRA Brownfields Pilot program to encourage and showcase innovative approaches to RCRA Clean-ups at potential RCRA Brownfields. The first four Pilots were initiated in 2000. A second round of five Pilots was initiated in the summer of 2001.

2000 RCRA BF Pilots: In 2000, four RCRA Brownfield Pilots were launched. In September 2001, EPA released a report summarizing the pilots, their innovative approaches and lessons learned.
