Explanation
Pennsylvania's Land Recycling Program (Act 2, 1995) encourages voluntary cleanup of contaminated sites by offering liability relief to parties who complete cleanup to established standards. Once a site meets PADEP's cleanup standards, PADEP issues a release of liability letter, making the property more attractive for redevelopment. Act 2 has facilitated the cleanup and reuse of hundreds of brownfield sites throughout Pennsylvania's former steel and manufacturing corridors.
