Abstract:

Before a brownfield, an underused or abandoned commercial or industrial site having contaminants, could be used, the site had to be totally cleaned up. Liability for the old pollution rested with the new owners. The Brownfield Property Reuse Act of 1997 removed that liability from potential developers.
