Subject: [CPEO-BIF] New York State proposes amended Brownfield Cleanup Program Regulations
 
News Release
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
June 9, 2015

Environmental Remediation - Brownfield Cleanup Program Proposed Regulations 6 NYCRR Part 375 - Amendments to Brownfield Cleanup Program DEC is proposing to revise 6 NYCRR Part 375, Environmental Remediation Programs. DEC is revising these regulations to meet the statutory mandates in Part BB of Chapter 56 of the Laws of 2015, which amended and added new language to Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) Article 27, Title 14 (Brownfield Cleanup Program, BCP) and certain other laws.

The Notice of Proposed Rule Making will be available in the June 10, 2015 issue of the State Register. Written public comments will be accepted by DEC from June 10 through August 5, 2015.

This rule making will amend Part 375 to add two new definitions, one for "affordable housing project" and a second for "underutilized". The new BCP law directs DEC to define the terms in regulation and publish the "affordable housing project" definition in the State Register. The statutory changes to the BCP will become effective on July 1, 2015.

These definitions, along with the other criteria for eligibility for tangible property tax credits (the site's location in an EnZone or the site meeting the statutory definition of "upside down"), will be used to determine whether a site in New York City will be eligible for those credits. The "affordable housing project" definition will also be used statewide to determine a site's eligibility for the five percent affordable housing tax credit bonus.
