What Are Brownfields? Brownfields consist of any real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which is complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In addition to sites polluted by general industrial contamination, this definition includes relatively low risk petroleum sites, mine scarred lands, and sites that are contaminated by a controlled substance (i.e. drug labs). The definition excludes certain types of sites, including facilities listed or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List (i.e. Superfund Sites). |
