Subject: [CPEO-BIF] EPA summary of "State Brownfields and Voluntary Response Programs"
 
State Brownfields and Voluntary Response Programs: An Update from the States
November 2009
U.S. EPA Publication Number: EPA-560-R-09-522

The "State Brownfields and Voluntary Response Programs: An Update from the States" explores the evolving landscape of state environmental, financial, and technical programs, including the incentives designed to promote brownfields cleanup and redevelopment. This user-friendly tool looks at multiple components of state brownfields and voluntary response program(s), and provides a synopsis of each state's response program(s) and contact information.

To download the report, as a whole or by section, go to
http://www.epa.gov/brownfields/state_tribal/pubs.htm#sta



I looked at a sampling of states to see if any require disclosure of contamination discovered during the conduct of Phase 1 or Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments. I didn't find any. If anyone else has better luck, please let me know. (Or tell me if you know of states with such requirements, even if they aren't in the EPA summary.)

The listed public participation requirements seem to apply to sites entered into official Brownfields or Voluntary Cleanup programs.
