Audio for "Local Governments and Superfund Sites - Supporting Redevelopment and Addressing the Superfund Liability Concerns of Local Governments," Jan 22, 2021
Local governments can play a critical role in the cleanup, redevelopment, and reuse of contaminated properties. When contamination complicates property acquisition, reuse, or stewardship, local governments can help transform these properties from liabilities into community assets. However, local governments can be reluctant to play an active part in redevelopment efforts due to feeling overwhelmed on how to start or what to do. Also, concerns about potential CERCLA liability at Superfund sites may discourage local governments from this role. This session will share Superfund Redevelopment Program tools and best practices and highlight real-world case examples where local governments, worked with EPA to facilitate the cleanup, redevelopment, and reuse of contaminated properties in their communities. This session also will explore how Superfund liability protections and EPA's enforcement policies protect local governments during the acquisition, cleanup, redevelopment, and reuse of Superfund sites. Speakers will address EPA's newest policies directly addressing the Superfund liability concerns of local governments. This session will empower local governments by providing specific strategies and tools for local governments to successfully return these blighted properties back to productive use while minimizing their liability risk, including how to attract and form productive partnerships between local governments and developers.
