Help me figure out what this information means! Are there more women working in  brownfields remediation and redevelopment compared to environmental professions as a whole?

Landmark date in brownfield history:  August 5, 2010 marks the date of the agreement between NYS and NYC which creates the first municipally-run brownfield cleanup program in the nation.

Positioning for an economic rebound at the intersection of economic growth and environmental improvement.  That is a street corner I'd like to see!

How many things in life can you really count on?  One is that when state administrations change, regulatory agencies speak early and often of cultural changes needed:  being client focused, prompt, and responsive.  I suggest a look at brownfield professionals in the public sector to see that the cultural change is here and now. 

It is not often in this day and age that we can see history actually reborn, but that is exactly what is occurring in the small town of Naco, Arizona.

The official start of spring is upon us, and as we begin to emerge into a time of green grass and flowers, I thought I would take a look at remediation strategies with a springtime theme.

All brownfield  partners are comfortable with the use of engineering and institutional controls at remediated properties heading for redevelopment.  Ok, almost all--those with money invested in the process are, government oversight agencies are comfortable with the concept and watchful over the specifics;  at specific sites, some environmental and citizen groups aren't. What we all need to do is keep on top of the process and make sure that  controls  work.

The term brownfields gets a bad rap.

Brownfield projects thrive when many different stakeholders are working together at the table. Is it time to add a few more place settings?

Brownfield redevelopment involves environmental remediation and property redevelopment. Environmental regulatory agencies' highest priority is the protection of the environment and public health and safety. Remember that  in your discussions with them.

2010 is  the start of a new decade and for New Jersey (NJ), the first full year of implementation of the new Licensed Site Remediation Professional program. In creating the program, much was learned from our neighbors to the north, Massachusetts(MA)  and Connecticut (CT). Now that NJ's program is unfolding, so is the anxiety.  Time to  go back to our northern guides.

More guidance for the anxious remediation professional in NJ from the Licensed Professional capital of the nation, MA.

With Valentine's Day on the horizon the focus becomes affairs of the heart , and it can certainly be said that Brownfields projects are labors of love...
