In New York, a developer building on a remediated brownfield site should ensure that:

BAny institutional controls (such as deed restrictions) and engineering controls are maintained as required by the remedial action plan✓ Correct
CThe site is re-contaminated to prior levels to establish a baseline

Explanation

Even after a Certificate of Completion, brownfield sites with residual contamination may have institutional controls (deed restrictions) and engineering controls (caps, barriers) that must be maintained. Failing to maintain these can void the liability protection.
