Description

A state program under the New York Department of Environmental Conservation aimed at cleaning and redeveloping polluted parcels for commercial use and housing. Some sites on Long Island have been in the program for over 10 years, with some exceeding 17 years, causing delays in cleanup and redevelopment. The program encourages private companies to voluntarily clean up properties in exchange for tax credits and liability relief. The DEC is considering regulations to improve oversight and accelerate progress at high-risk sites, and a public database is planned.
