2 Brownfield Definition Brownfields are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.

3 Laws & Statutes On January 11, 2002, President Bush signed the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act ("the Brownfields Law"). The Brownfields Law amended the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) by providing funds to assess and clean up brownfields; clarified CERCLA liability protections; and provided funds to enhance state and tribal response programs.

4 Laws & Statutes (cont.) Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act Other related laws includes CERCLA, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA).

5 Brownfields in California 90,000 properties in California that remain idle or underutilized because of real or perceived environmental contamination Within Cal/EPA, the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) and Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Boards) are charged with cleaning up the broad universe of all contaminated properties throughout the state.

6 Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) DTSC's Statewide Cleanup Operations Division conducts and oversees cleanup on an average of 220 of these sites at any given time. The division has 124 staff members to coordinate all aspects of the cleanup from investigation through certification An average of 125 cleanups are completed each year

7 DTSC (cont.) DTSC developed several policies: Prospective Purchaser Agreements Private Site Management Program Property Over Contaminated Groundwater Partial Site Cleanup Military Facilities Office of Military Facilities oversees the investigation and cleanup of contaminated California properties currently or previously owned and operated by the various branches within the federal Department of Defense (29 major bases closed in CA).

8 State & Regional Water Boards Polanco Redevelopment Act - part of the Community Redevelopment Act, was enacted to assist redevelopment agencies in responding to brownfield properties in their redevelopment areas State UST Cleanup Fund California s Orphan Site Cleanup Account Program The OSCA Program was created to provide grants to clean up brownfield sites contaminated by petroleum USTs where there is no financially responsible party to pay for response actions at the site ($10 millions per year)

9 State UST Cleanup Fund A reimbursement fund, must claim after spending Administrated by State Board, not by the Regional Boards Funding from gasoline tax (1.6 cents per gallon) The Fund currently generates about $230 to $250 millions per year All eligible sites are classified into A, B, C, D priority based on company size Maximum reimbursable expense is $1.5 millions per site Cover only soil and groundwater cleanup

10 California State UST Cleanup Fund Fund started in 1990 Fund for average site: $100,000 Deductible: individual: none corporation (with asset < $500,000): $5,000 corporation (with asset > $500,000): $10, states have UST Cleanup Fund Fund sunsets in 2011?

11 State & Regional Water Boards Regional Water Boards are responsible to make decisions regarding cleanup and abatement goals and objectives for the protection of water quality and the beneficial uses of waters of the state within each Region Criteria includes: (1) site-specific characteristics; (2) applicable state and federal statutes and regulations; (3) applicable water quality control plans; (4) State Water Board and Regional Water Board policies; (5) relevant standards, criteria, and advisories

12 Regional Water Board Groundwater Cleanup Programs Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program Well Investigation Program (Superfund) Above Ground Tank (AGT) Program Department of Defense (DoD) Program Spills, Leaks, Investigations, and Cleanups (SLIC) Program/Brownfields

13 Regional Board SLIC Program This program covers all types of pollutants (e.g. solvents, petroleum fuels, and heavy metals) and all media (soil, surface water, and groundwater). Brownfield projects

18 UST Program Petroleum hydrocarbon UST cases Do not include other UST cases, i.e., solvent tank, above-ground storage tank cases Regional Board Lead Cases Local Oversight Program (LOP) and Local Investigation Agency (LIA) Cases

19 Salt Types of Pollution Volatile Organic Compounds Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds Metals Petroleum Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Perchlorate Acids Dioxin Pesticides/Herbicides

20 Sources of Pollution Underground Storage Tank - gas station Above Ground Tank - refinery and tank farm Oil Pipeline Industrial Facilities - metal plating Dry Cleaner - clarifier and pipeline Spills
