What is a brownfield?

Brownfields are typically former industrial or commercial properties that have some sort of environmental contamination. Since they are often located in manufacturing or industrial areas, they are close to existing infrastructure, making their cleanup and redevelopment particularly attractive.

Brownfields Program Assistance

Staff from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Land Recycling and Environmental Cleanup programs can answer your questions about the remediation of sites. Our regional staff often has background information about individual sites in their areas of the state.
