"All-Appropriate Inquiries and Environmental Site Assessments: A Message to Clients" Published by Institute of Brownfield Professionals - News
|
| |
All-Appropriate Inquiries and Environmental Site Assessments: A Message to Clients is now available without charge at the website of the Institute of Brownfield Professionals ( www.brownfieldpros.org).
The pamphlet begins with a frightening description of the severe environmental risks many property owners and purchasers face: "Imagine purchasing a site for $500,000, only to learn later, during construction, that it's contaminated. That you are legally obligated to clean it up before work may continue. That the unanticipated cost will be $2 million. Or more. The risks are real. You cannot eliminate them, but you can manage them... by relying on qualified professionals to perform a study that comprises what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) terms an 'all-appropriate inquiry.'"

From Landfill to Landmark: Save The Bay Center Available Now from the Institute of Brownfield Professionals - News
|
| |
The unabridged report comprises a thorough review of Save The Bay’s seven-year Fields Point development project, documenting the interplay between permitting, financing, and clean-up requirements, Save The Bay’s decision-making, and the project outcomes.
The project began in the late 1990s, when Save The Bay partnered with Johnson & Wales University to assemble the capital, political will, and design expertise to clean up a vacant, contaminated, coastal site at Fields Point, along the Providence River. Completed during the summer of 2005, the Save The Bay Center comprises a powerful example demonstrating how redevelopment of brownfield properties builds on prior public and private investment, takes advantage of existing infrastructure, and helps to revitalize communities.
