Re: State-run Voluntary Clean-Up Programs

[Ann Goode <anngoode@nemw.org>]

in response to Kristi Walker's inquiry about state run VCPs.  The
Environmental Law Institute's "An Analysis of State Superfund Programs:
50-state Study, 1998 Update" is a good reference work.  In addition to
Superfund, it gives a brief summary of legal and programmatic framework
provided for cleanup and redevelopment of non-NPL site --- brownfields.  I
believe data is current through 1997.
