In fall 2008, the EPA published its Petroleum Brownfields Action Plan: Promoting Revitalization and Sustainability prepared by the Office of Underground Storage Tanks (OUST) and the Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization (OBLR). EPA is currently going through the process to update the Action Plan in order to focus its resources on partnerships and connections that will leverage the most success in redevelopment of petroleum brownfields for healthy, vibrant communities.

Attendees will gain insight into trends for redevelopment that the EPA considers promising, and examples of specific projects that have successfully leveraged multiple funding sources to revitalize petroleum brownfields in systematic, sustainable ways. Attendees will also have the opportunity to provide input to EPA on its priorities for revitalizing petroleum brownfields.

Speakers will include:

  • Robin Hughes Parker, EPA Office of Underground Storage Tanks
  • Ann Carroll, EPA Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization
In addition to speakers from the EPA, the webinar will feature a petroleum brownfields case study, and reactions to the draft action plan by an expert panel of local governments, developers, and planners. To register for the webinar: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/716913425
