Superfund Reuse Awards

The EPA recognizes excellence in Virginia Superfund cleanup

EPA has established several awards to recognize Tribal, state and community partners who have worked collaboratively and gone the extra mile to support the redevelopment of Superfund sites in ways that benefit communities and are compatible with cleanups. All 10 of EPA’s regional offices have developed regional reuse award programs to recognize these innovative efforts and inspire new Superfund redevelopment projects.

Explore the award-winning sites in each EPA Region.

EPA also developed the State Excellence in Supporting Reuse Award to recognize state partners whose work has led to lasting benefits that enhance community quality of life and ensure the long-term protectiveness of site remedies and stewardship of the environment.

Find out more about the state award winners.

EPA established the National Federal Facility Excellence in Site Reuse Award to recognize the teams who have supported the reuse and restoration of Federal Facility sites through outstanding efforts. Their work clearly demonstrates that creating strong partnerships with a collaborative vision shared by the community, other Federal Agencies, Tribes, states, territories and local partners to address contaminated property in a way that aligns with the needs of the surrounding community leads to successful outcomes for neighborhood revitalization and the environment.
