The Environmental Protection Agency released a draft of its report entitled "Petroleum #Brownfields 2013: Opportunities for Action" on December 11 outlining ongoing and potential new activities to redevelop
petroleum-contaminated brownfields sites, including exploring how their
reuse can address community needs for access to health care. This report updates EPA's earlier 2008 Petroleum Brownfield Plan.
Through implementing the 2008 petroleum brownfields action plan and developing Petroleum Brownfields 2013: Opportunities for Action, EPA identified both challenges and opportunities for improvements we intend to achieve in the next three years. This plan is an outline of potential activities, and we want to hear from stakeholders to ensure the plan adapts to their needs over the course of its implementation. The 2013 plan builds on activities from the 2008 plan by identifying relevant actions and new opportunities where EPA might be able to provide support and leadership. Some of these actions will be implemented in the short term; others will require longer-term plans for staffing, funding, and project management. We will continue pursuing strong coordination and communication among petroleum brownfields stakeholders to achieve greater success in assessing, cleaning up, and sustainably reusing petroleum brownfield properties.
