BROWNFIELDS CLEANUP A brownfield site is property that was once used for commercial or industrial purposes and is now targeted for redevelopment. Brownfields sites can be abandoned factories, gas stations, oil storage facilities, and other businesses that used polluting substances. Such sites must be cleaned up and determined to be safe from any contamination before they can be re-used. State and federal brownfields programs assist developers in safely using former industrial sites for new uses such as housing, retail stores, and parks. FACT SHEET - Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund BROWNFIELDS ASSESSMENT In 2006, Catawba Regional received a $200,000 EPA grant to assess brownfields within Old Town Rock Hill. This project is in its early stages and will use a Public Involvement Plan to ensure that the community is kept abreast of project activities.
