			 Many of the properties affected by these hazardous waste sites are brownfield
			 properties, where economic development and other community reuse objectives are
			 hindered by the presence of contamination; and
(d) The cost of cleaning up these hazardous
			 waste sites in many cases is beyond the financial means of local governments
			 and ratepayers.
