EPA's enforcement program strives to balance our primary mission of ensuring that polluters pay for cleanups through an “enforcement first” strategy with strong support for EPA's contaminated site reuse goals. As such, the enforcement program helps facilitate site cleanup by pursuing responsible parties, but also recognizes that supporting reuse efforts can be a powerful incentive to encourage expeditious cleanups, save limited federal and state cleanup resources and help us all achieved our cleanup and enforcement goals to protect human health and the environment. This webinar will discuss the role of EPA's cleanup enforcement program in supporting the appropriate reuse of Superfund sites and will share case study examples of how enforcement tools, such as institutional controls, bona fide prospective purchaser (BFPP) criteria and continuing obligations, and negotiations to help address liability concerns, can help facilitate beneficial reuse at Superfund sites.
