Superfund Redevelopment Initiative 10th Anniversary
July 2009 marks the 10th anniversary of EPA's Superfund Redevelopment Initiative (SRI). Over the past decade, SRI has helped communities across the country reclaim Superfund sites by knocking down barriers that have kept many of them vacant and underutilized for decades.
SRI has been helping communities explore how site cleanup and reuse go hand in hand, resulting in outcomes that benefit everyone. SRI has also provided stakeholders with tools to overcome reuse obstacles. Whether it's a new flying field for model airplanes, a new wind farm supplying clean, alternative energy, or a new community garden, SRI is committed to working with communities to understand how their site can safely be returned to use.
As part of our 10th Anniversary celebration, SRI will host a series of monthly webinars on redevelopment of Superfund sites across the country. We'll kick off the series with a presentation on the history of redevelopment along with a discussion off the different types of reuse, such as parks and recreation, ecological revitalization, renewable energy, residential, commercial, and multi-use. The sessions that follow will highlight Superfund Redevelopment case studies from around the country. EPA Remedial Project Managers will present details about their site and how they got it into reuse. In addition to the webinar sessions, SRI will also highlight a new site and its redevelopment story on our website every month in 2009.
