Brownfields in EPA Region 10
This page contains regional information about brownfields and land revitalization programs in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington (EPA's Region 10).
Targeted Brownfields Assessments
Subtitle A of the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act authorizes EPA to establish a program to perform Targeted Brownfields Assessments such as Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments at properties within Region 10 at no cost to local governments, quasi-governmental agencies and Tribes.
Information gathered from Targeted Brownfields Assessments gives local governments and prospective purchasers a better understanding of potential contamination issues at brownfields in their communities. EPA will characterize a brownfield to determine the nature and extent of the contamination. Results are provided to the community to assist them in redevelopment planning.
