The U.S. Conference of Mayors : Brownfields

The United States Conference of Mayors defines the term "brownfield" as an abandoned or underutilized property where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by either real or perceived environmental contamination. This description applies to a wide variety of sites including, but not limited to, industrial properties, old gas stations, vacant warehouses, former dry cleaning establishments, abandoned residential buildings which potentially could contain lead paint or asbestos and under the new law, sites that contain petroleum products as well as and mine scarred land. Brownfields are located in almost every community in the United States.
