To be eligible for the program, sites must be vacant or underutilized, where remediation is feasible and where redevelopment will create jobs and improve the local tax base. The assessments conducted by MDE include a complete Phase I and Phase II assessment. Since 1996, assessments have been conducted at 58 sites. Future assessments will depend on the availability of funds. MDE is committed to encouraging the cleanup and redevelopment of contaminated and potentially contaminated properties to protect public health and the environment.
Suggestions are always welcome.
