Visteon Looks To Ditch Contaminated Property

Law360, New York (November 20, 2009) -- Bankrupt auto parts maker
Visteon Corp. is seeking to sell a contaminated piece of land back to an
Indiana city, looking for relief from the financial obligations
connected to the property.

On Thursday, Visteon filed the motion in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware to sell certain real property in Connersville,
Ind., back to the city, thereby relieving it of any environmental
obligations and liabilities.

Assessments

Larry, could you please elaborate on the last sentence *Indeed, more
brownfield 
sites were created in 2009 than were
cleaned up!*? Are you referring to migration of soil and groundwater 
contamination to adjacent properties either because cleanup is not
happening or 
because of incomplete/self-directed cleanups?

Also, I would also appreciate if anyone direct me to reports documenting
these 
various conditions under which legacy pollution is not required to be
reported 
to the relevant agencies during redevelopment/sale of properties (when I
expect 
these conditions to be made public).

Deb.
