[CPEO-BIF] [Fwd: RE: EPA summary of "State Brownfields and Voluntary Response Programs"]

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

From a consultant:

Lenny - the State of Washington requires that certain discovered 
releases be reported under its state cleanup regulations (which 
implement the Model Toxics Control Act, or MTCA).  Policy 300 describes 
the requirement and can be downloaded from: 
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/tcp/policies/tcppoly.html.

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.
