| Short description: |
EPA has developed
this Web site to summarize timely information about the use of
ecological revitalization at contaminated properties. Ecological
revitalization refers to the process of returning land from a
contaminated state to one that supports a functioning and
sustainable habitat. Although the final decision on how a
property is reused is inherently a local decision that often
rests with the property owner, EPA actively supports and
encourages ecological revitalization, when appropriate, during
and after the assessment and cleanup of contaminated properties
under its cleanup programs. This Web site contains information
about completed and on-going projects where ecological
revitalization was involved in solutions to various
environmental concerns. These profiles provide information on
site history, contaminants of concern and the ecological
revitalization approach taken at each site. Technical
considerations, long-term stewardship and operation and
maintenance requirements are also included in each profile. View
