- Environmental law -- Land Use Law
Brownfields are properties that have limited expansion, reuse or redevelopment possibilities because of the presence of hazardous substances, contaminants or pollutants. Georgia has over eight-five such sights, which can pose complications to our state’s economic and environmental health goals. Many brownfields can be redeveloped and reused only after substantial measures are taken by states, communities and other stakeholders. 2020 is the 40th Anniversary of the passage of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), which funds federal Superfund projects. There are more than 40,000 federal Superfund sites across the country with around 1,600 being designated as high priority. This panel will talk about CERCLA and some of Georgia’s brownfield redevelopment projects. - External Identifiers:
