Subject: Handbook-Revitalizing Contaminated Lands: Addressing Liability Concerns 

Dear Lenny:
 
I am pleased to announce that EPA has issued Revitalizing Contaminated Lands: Addressing Liability Concerns (the 2014 edition of The Revitalization Handbook). This handbook helps developers, local governments, and the public understand how the Agency’s cleanup enforcement program facilitates the redevelopment and reuse of contaminated and potentially contaminated land.
Revitalization supports the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s mission to protect human health and the environment. By engaging stakeholders and the public we are one step closer to making sure that sites are cleaned up to the benefit of the community.
The Revitalization Handbook summarizes liability protections, EPA policy and guidance documents, and site-specific enforcement tools that may be helpful to communities, developers, and private parties looking to manage environmental cleanup liability risks associated with the revitalization of contaminated properties. It is designed for use by all parties involved in the assessment, cleanup, and revitalization of Superfund, RCRA, and brownfield properties.
 
I hope you’ll visit the Agency’s It’s Our Environment blog for my message on Promoting Redevelopment in Communities. The handbook is available on the Agency’s website at http://www2.epa.gov/enforcement/revitalization-handbook.
 
Please contact me at deleon.rafael@epa.gov, Matthew Sander at sander.matthew@epa.gov, or Cecilia De Robertis at derobertis.cecilia@epa.gov, if you have any questions or would like additional information.
