Superfund: Proposals to Remove Barriers to Brownfield Redevelopment

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date March 4, 1997
Report No. T-RCED-97-87
Subject
Summary:

During the past several decades, manufacturing has been on the decline in many U.S. cities. When businesses close, they often leave behind abandoned and idled properties, known as "brownfields," which are sometimes contaminated with chemical wastes. To avoid the cost of assessing and cleaning up these properties in accordance with federal and state environmental laws, some new businesses have opted to locate in uncontaminated sites outside cities. These decisions have deprived central city neighborhoods of tax revenues and employment opportunities. This testimony draws on the findings of a June 1996 report (GAO/RCED-96-125). GAO discusses the (1) legal barriers that the Superfund legislation poses to redeveloping brownfields and (2) types of federal financial support that states and localities would like to help them address such properties.
