 Sometimes the unique physical characteristics of a brownfield cause
redevelopment to get stuck. Technology can be helpful in “unsticking” the
redevelopment process when given enough broad thinking and patience. A few
examples can help explain what I mean.
The Ohio River Park Superfund site in Allegheny County, Penn., was
slated to cost $30 million, an amount that dramatically slowed the remediation
process. A bright engineer/scientist noticed during an annual review that
natural attenuation of contaminants in the groundwater was occurring at a rapid
rate. The potentially responsible party requested and received an eight-year
period to demonstrate that monitored natural attenuation (MNA) could replace the
selected pump-and-treat remedy. The MNA technical solution unstuck the
remediation process and allowed development to proceed. The property is the
first U.S. EPA Region 3 Super fund site to have been sold. The property has been
developed as a Title IX sports complex for the Robert Morris University.

Brownfield Stateside Report

In Michigan, some are predicting a better business climate for redevelopment and regulatory closure of contaminated properties thanks to a bill Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was scheduled to sign last week. The new regulations should have a positive impact on commercial real estate development and brownfields redevelopment resulting in the creation of jobs. |

A property located on a bank of the East River and in a densely developed residential and commercial area, had its work cut out for it from an environmental remediation standpoint. The mission was to clean up the land and ultimately make one puzzle piece to a larger urban revitalization project that would be redeveloped as a public library and park ranger station.
