Removing Es

OER can remove all E-Designations from a property that achieves a high level of cleanup and fully meets air quality and noise requirements.

Specifically, if a party achieves a cleanup of a property that does not require an active soil vapor management system, and the site is built out to its full development potential, all E Designations can be removed from the property once OER certifies that the site's remedy (for hazardous material, air quality and noise, as applicable) is complete.

For information about removing E Designations from your property, see 43 Rules of the City of New York § 1475(a) or contact OER.
