This report chronicles the milestones and accomplishments of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Brownfields Program, which began in 1995 as an ambitious initiative to change the way people think about contaminated properties. For decades, uncertainty about the presence of contamination, fear of potential cleanup liability, and finite cleanup resources, resulted in thousands of potentially contaminated properties blighting the American landscape. EPA's Brownfields Program has been working to address this national environmental issue.
