BROWNFIELDS INITIATIVE SEEKS SECOND ROUND
OF PROJECTS 


To prevent future contamination and encourage reuse of facilities
regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA is
seeking applications by Feb. 1 for six new pilot projects under the second
round of the Brownfields Prevention Initiative. For more information,
contact JosJ E. Labiosa at 202-260-1910 or by E-mail at :
labiosajose@epa.gov. In April 2000, EPA announced the selection of the
first round of pilot projects. The sites for these four pilots were
CBS/Viacom facility in Bridgeport, Conn.; the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
site in Lackawanna, N.Y.; the PEPCO Energy facility in Chester, Pa.; and
the Blue Valley Redevelopment site in Kansas City, Mo. These sites have
already yielded results and innovations that can be used at other sites.
All sites have cleanup and redevelopment plans well underway, and all have
benefitted by cutting red tape and encouraging effective communication
among all government levels, key decision makers, and communities. More
information about the RCRA Brownfields Prevention Initiative is available
at: http://www.epa.gov/brownfields . Additional information about
RCRA Cleanup Reforms is available at: http://www.epa.gov/correctiveaction.
