State Public Records of Brownfields Sites
States and Tribes receiving EPA Brownfields Section 128(a) funding must establish and maintain a public record of sites. The public record includes sites at which response actions have been completed during the previous year and sites at which response actions are planned to be addressed in the next year. The public record also identifies sites that, upon completion of the response action, will be suitable for unrestricted use. If not, the public record identifies the institutional controls relied on in the remedy.

Local Partnerships
City or county departments such as environment, planning, economic development, and local community development corporations (CDCs) are valuable resources in developing cleanup and redevelopment plans, conducting community outreach, and leveraging financial and technical resources from public or private sources. Contact your city's brownfields representative to find out if there are additional information or resources in your area.
