Brownfields RedevelopmentCardnoKnows

Session 1: What is a “Brownfield” Anyway? State and private sector leaders will lead this discussion. What factors are important in site selection? How can the community be engaged, and how can it be most helpful? What are the steps necessary to designate an area/site as a brownfield? How can risk be managed most effectively? What is the real impact now, and what steps can state and local agencies take?

Session 2: Brownfields; A Pathway to Viable Communities Many communities struggle with a lack of recreational areas, affordable workforce housing, and commercial developments that can lead to jobs. This session will highlight success stories of communities that once　struggled with these quality of life concerns were transformed into communities with desirable assets including affordable housing, community health centers, educational and recreational facilities.

Session 3: Incorporating Sustainable Design into Brownfield Projects and Areas Brownfield sites and areas provide the opportunity to take a holistic approach to development that incorporates built and natural design elements into the environment. LEED and other Green Building platforms provide guidance for combining these elements into sustainable projects. This session will focus on describing several sustainable design principles and discuss the benefits of incorporating trees into brownfield projects and communities as a whole. Case studies will highlight challenges and benefits of sustainable design and enhancing the urban forest canopy.

Session 4: It Takes a Team to Put Together a Successful Brownfield Project This session will emphasize the benefits (and challenges) that come from collaborating across traditional institutional and programmatic functions to develop creative solutions to the complex problems in developing urban brownfield sites. Crucial for these communities is the ability to effectively communicate with developers. This session will also cover how variations in language, timetable, and needs of a developer are different from a municipality, nonprofit organization, or resident.

Sessions 5 and 23: Creating a Rural Brownfields Resource Network* For small and rural communities, brownfields redevelopment can mean something very different than it does for larger more urban or industrial communities. Often lacking comprehensive plans, planning staff, and in some cases full-time elected officials, rural communities have key hurdles that require different approaches. This session will focus on the unique redevelopment and revitalization challenges and successes that rural communities face.

Session 6: Building the Bridges to Provide for Equitable Development in Environmentally Challenged Neighborhoods The integration of equitable development and smart growth approaches to achieve development are being employed throughout communities because of the realization that the integration leads to healthy and sustainable communities. Traditionally under-represented populations are being engaged early on in the planning process and in decision-making to provide for more inclusive development. Stakeholders are investing in existing neighborhoods, providing healthy and affordable housing, as well as various transportation options, bridging the gap between smart growth and environmental justice. This session will focus on communities that have experienced the benefits of the bridges that they have built.

Session 7: Practical Tips, Proven Strategies, and New Tools to Successfully Manage the VI Pathway to Infinity and Beyond Many Brownfield Projects face (chemical) Vapor Intrusions (VI) concerns. In most cases these will remain as ‘concerns’ due to the uncertainty in estimating chemical-VI risks, even after costly and extended investigations that are impractical for most Brownfield developments. This session will focus on various ways in which VI can be addressed during the assessment and redevelopment phases of a brownfield project without derailing the project.

Session 8: Once Upon a Time – The Key to Reviving Historic Urban Communities Historic urban areas are experiencing a major comeback with big impacts. This session will highlight projects and best practices in urban neighborhoods and downtowns that have combined historic preservation, brownfield, infill and blight removal approaches to attract private investment and transform places for sustainable economic and environmental benefits - including helping to reverse sprawl.

Session 9: State Brownfield Programs: What Works, What Doesn’t This double-session features representatives from various state environmental agencies providing a general discussion of the brownfield programs within their respective states. Discussion will include what states have done to remove barriers from or incentivize the redevelopment of Brownfields. What has been successful, what has not, why, what are the most important factors, funding, liability relief and community engagement? What are the barriers that must be overcome for success?

Session 10: Manufacturing - As American as Apple Pie Across America, local governments are seeking to revitalize the manufacturing sector by expanding existing manufacturing and fostering advanced and green tech manufacturing. This session will focus on the challenges of growing the manufacturing sector, particularly in communities that are struggling with the closure of old plants.

Session 11: Private-Public Partnerships, Just Say Yes This session explores public/private partnerships as a result of the Tamiami Trail Petroleum Revitalization Initiative and subsequent EPA Petroleum Collation Assessment grant resulting in a wide variety of projects including – Preservation of a Historic Hotel, Expansion of a Nature Preserve and multiple sustainable projects within the City of Palmetto.

Session 13: If We Build It, They Will Come - How to Work With Developers Towards a Successful Brownfields Redevelopment Project Issues covered in this session will include common local and national barriers to infill and brownfield development, how experienced infill developers can learn and share information, attracting new developers to infill, how infill and brownfield sites can leverage off each other, and educating communities on the benefits of infill and brownfield development. How to put successful teams together to get a brownfields project off of the paper on the ground and up.

Sessions 14 and 17: Don’t Forget to Dot your “i’s” and Cross Your “t’s” - A User’s Guide to Successful Grant Applications* EPA Brownfields Grants can serve as the keystone to establishing and maintaining an effective brownfields program. These grants are fairly competitive with only approximately one-fifth of all applicants being awarded a grant. This session will provide insight by those with success in preparing the grant applications as well as input from EPA representatives providing a reviewers point of view.

Session 15: Money Talks, So Let’s Pick Up the Conversation This session will provide insight into what due diligence commercial lenders look for to get comfortable with the environmental risks on brownfields properties. This session will focus on a discussion of risks and risk mitigation strategies.

Community Caucus & EJ Listening Session Come Join Communities within Region 4 to discuss Environmental Justice Issues, Challenges and concerns. This brief forum will provide a roundtable discussion for all participants to move Environmental Justice Issues forward within Brownfields Communities.

Session 16: When Cities Collaborate Often times communities individually may not have the resources to see a complex development project through without some wear and tear. Sharing resources and looking for ways to join forces to apply for grant opportunities that benefit multiple communities can be the key. This session will focus on success stories that have resulted when communities met and shared their visions and their needs.

Session 18: What’s the Latest on Institutional Controls? This session will focus on what changes have been implemented with respect to the implementation of Institutional Controls (IC) in various state brownfield programs. IC experts will lead a lively discussion about the current state of IC implementation, monitoring, compliance, and the future direction of institutional controls.

Session 19: Implementing Cooperative Regulatory Change through Private/ Public Dialogue Panelists include Florida Brownfields Association Technical Committee co-chair Andy Lawn, FDEP’s Brownfield Administrator Kim Walker, Atlanta environmental attorney Doug Cloud and Kentucky Brownfields Program Administrator Shawn Cecil

Panelists will initiate discussions by citing recent accomplishments of the Florida Brownfields Association (FBA) with specifics relative to FBA’s Technical Committee, starting with what FBA does and how the FBA facilitates interaction among public and private sector stakeholders and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), then talk about how FBA helped FDEP develop guidance for engineering and institutional controls and environmental media assessment techniques.

Panelists talk about the most time sensitive aspects of FDEP’s involvement with stakeholders and how processes have improved over the years. Then the session will convey how Kentucky has been improving their processes and developed and implemented their new state Brownfields Program, including promulgation of regulations that took effect on February 3 of this year.

Finally, Panelists review some brownfields projects in Georgia and how states interact with EPA Region IV and discuss aspects of brownfield designations/redevelopment projects and what approaches have worked for all.

Session 20: Land Ho – Waterfront and Port Redevelopment This session will focus on a variety of brownfield projects that have taken place along various waterways and ports. Special attention to the challenges that redeveloping waterfront properties can bring as well as the success and thriving growth that has resulted will be discussed.

Session 21: Brownfields Inventory Tools as Part of Community Revitalization This session will provide a range of new ideas for evaluating both (1) the success of your completed brownfield redevelopment projects and programs and (2) the potential for success of your ideas and visions. This session will focus on various ways to measure the success of programs and projects from the session participants’ communities.

Session 22: Meaningful Community Engagement This session will provide tools and approaches to go beyond buy in to truly engage community members to support positive changes through Brownfields Redevelopment.

Session 24: Small Towns, Big Ideas, Amazing Results Small and rural communities face unique challenges in submitting grant applications to obtain funding for Brownfield projects. This discussion will be led by experts with extensive experience navigating brownfields challenges in small and rural communities. Examples of big successes in smaller communities will be shared providing insight to seed the next generation of big successes in small towns!

Session 25: What the Heck is a CREC? Brownfields redevelopment and the implementation of risk-based closure have resulted in many cleanups that leave residual contamination and, therefore, are subject to closure with restrictions. Even though a property has been granted a “No Further Action with Conditions” determination, jurisdictional regulatory issues do not disappear. Furthermore, the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002 which amended CERCLA, requires maintenance of Landowner Liability Protections, including fulfillment of continuing obligations for complying with land use restrictions established in connection with an environmental response action. ASTM promulgated a Standard Guide for Identifying and Complying with Continuing Obligations (“CRECs”) in 2011 (E2790-11). These continuing obligations include maintenance of the integrity of the land use restrictions and taking reasonable steps to prevent exposure to residual contamination. Cases involving continuing obligations in connection with Brownfields sites are now making their way through the courts and important lessons can be learned. Discussions of the ramifications of CRECs on brownfield projects will be presented.

Session 26: Regional Healthfields Successes This session will provide strategies, case studies and success stories of transforming Brownfields challenges into opportunities to improve Health and Healthcare and provide Health Equity in underserved communities.

Session 27: ATSDR Brownfields/Land Reuse Case Studies Leann Bing (Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry, ATSDR) and Jane Perry (Georgia Department of Public Health, GADPH) will present on federal and state resources and showcase how communities are improving public health through redevelopment. ATSDR resources highlighted are the 10% Health Monitoring, ATSDR Action Model, ATSDR Site Tool, and ATSDR Community Health Project funding. Jane Perry, GADPH and ATSDR grantee, will highlight GADPH resources and showcase community health projects in Georgia. Hopefully, communities throughout the Southeast will look at these examples and see Brownfields through a health lens on how they too can address health disparities through revitalization.

Session 28: Asbestos in Soil Who Knew? Soil sampling is a unique as the constituents being sampled for in soils. Using the correct methodology is key to having a true understanding of what lies beneath. Case studies will be presented addressing different sampling approaches and analysis options including a decision framework helpful for guiding assessment and clean-up planning.

Session 29: Economic Redevelopment Programs - Enhancing Brownfield Redevelopment This session will provide attendees information regarding the various economic incentives available for a brownfield redevelopment project and the panel will discuss important considerations for the same, such as site selection and the incentives available from federal, state, and local levels, such as statutory tax credits. This session will also take a closer look at funds available for economic development projects from a host of federal agencies, such as HUD, DOT, and EPA, for a variety of activities, such as planning, direct development assistance and project income.

Session 30: Bearing Fruit – Brownfields and Healthy Foods This session will explore wide variety of opportunities for fresh and healthy foods as a result of Brownfields redevelopment and will provide the tools and examples to reduce health disparities through fresh food opportunities.

Session 31: Environmental Workforce Development This session will focus on the benefits of having a local environmental job development and training program which provides government and industry with reliable, pre-screened, trained and certified workers, and benefits to the community’s underserved and disenfranchised residents. The session panelists will discuss the costs and commitments associated with environmental job training. As well as what resources and partnerships may be necessary. The positives and negatives associated with community environmental workforce development programs will also be explored.

Session 32: Seeding Redevelopment: The Power of Parks and Open Spaces This session will offer attendees insight into the value added when parks and open spaces are integrated into a brownfield redevelopment project. Success stories will be presented highlighting the challenges, as well as the lessons learned in greening up a brownfield project.

Session 33: Re-visioning Brownfields Through Area-Wide Sector Planning Communities can use area-wide planning (AWP) in brownfield redevelopment projects to provide both environmental and socio-economic improvements which secure lasting benefit. Brownfields AWP process can be used to develop short, medium, and long-term implementation strategies that meet the various community goals. This session will provide case studies by those that have successfully implemented AWP in brownfield project.

Session 29: Meet the Regulators This roundtable forum will provide one on one opportunities for attendees to meet with regulators from various states and EPA Region 4 to obtain direction on a project that may be stalled, or just in the planning stages. Contact information for the “right” person to talk to within the agency may be a point of discussion as well.

Session 34: Tools to Reduce Health Disparities through Brownfields Redevelopment Brownfields redevelopment can be a vehicle to reduce health disparities and Health Impact Assessments are also a powerful tool to identify potential challenges and improvements to address health issues and disparities in underserved Brownfields communities. This session will explore the issues, challenges and tools to reduce health disparities through Healthfields redevelopment.

Session 35: Meet the Funders Workshop This session is sponsored by the Center for Creative Land Recycling (CCLR or ʺsee clearʺ), a nonprofit founded on the belief that intelligent, innovative land use is the key to ensuring a healthy future for both our communities and our environment. CCLR is the EPA Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB) provider for EPA Region 4 (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee). Contact CCLR for free assistance with your brownfield redevelopment project, from planning and community outreach to finding funding and understanding technical reports. We have helped hundreds of communities across the country build new housing, businesses, parks, and community centers. Find more on our website at www.cclr.org.

Session 37: Hot Topics/Projects in Brownfields Across the State This “speed networking” networking session will have attendees rotating table to table while state agency and EPA representatives provide a brief overview of what they see in their respective jurisdictions as the next big thing.
