Accomplishments
• Leveraged $10 billion in cleanup and redevelopment
• Leveraged more than 45,000 jobs
• Supported assessments at more than 11,500 properties
• Trained 4,120 brownfields community members for environmental jobs. More than 63% of graduates have secured employment (average hourly wage: $13.88).

Brownfields and land revitalization priorities• Strengthen State and Tribal Response Programs
(which provide brownfields cleanup oversight)• Support Revitalization Projects in EPA’s 10 Regions. • Support data development on Institutional Controls• Identify barriers to and solutions for revitalization at
Brownfields, RCRA, Superfund, Tanks and Federal Facilities sites
• Advance sustainability in brownfields reuse.

EPA’s land revitalization efforts• National Network of EPA Employees focused on
Land Revitalization across all EPA Land Cleanup Programs
• Includes Revitalization Coordinators in Headquarters and Regional Program Areas: Brownfields, Superfund, RCRA, Tanks, Federal Facilities

Brownfield program outcomes and benefits
• Fewer VMT: The average household, office or business produces 40 to 70% fewer vehicle miles traveled when located on a redeveloped brownfield or infill site rather than previously undeveloped land. (Based on studies by EPA, Natural Resource Defense Council and Criterion Planners/Engineers).
• Less land consumption: On average, every brownfield acre redeveloped would require a minimum of 4.5 acres had the same project been located in a greenfield area. (Based on a study by George Washington University).
Volunteers help with landscaping at a new community park in Portland, Oregon.

Taking it to the next level:sustainable revitalization
• Greener cleanup/demolition • Green buildings• Smart growth • Native landscaping • Managing storm water onsite• Serving community needs,
such as: – accessible health clinics, – walking access to healthy food
markets, – living wage jobs, and– community greenspace.

Raising the bar for sustainability through partnerships
• EPA Brownfields has supported the development of LEED for Neighborhood Developments pilot standard through a grant to the U.S. Green Building Council.
• With more brownfields credits than any LEED standard, LEED-ND serves as a “yardstick” by which to measure the environmental quality of larger projects.
• More than 100 brownfields projects have registered to participate in the LEED-ND pilot phase.
