About
Brownfields:
Any former or current commercial or industrial site, currently vacant or
underutilized and on which there has been, or there is suspected to have been, a
discharge of a contaminant. (Source: Brownfield and Contaminated Site
Remediation Act, N.J.S.A. 58:10B-1 et seq.)
The NJ Brownfields Inventory Website
is a searchable database which has the capability of displaying site statistics,
narrative description, and, in the future will have a geographic positioning
function and site photographs. The
NJ Brownfields Inventory Website is a
collaboration with private property owners, municipalities and counties to
efficiently build a shared database that will represent an inventory of
Brownfields properties in New Jersey.
The NJ Brownfields Inventory Website serves as:
A multiple listing service for prospective buyers/developers
An important planning tool for municipalities, counties, regional entities and state agencies
An archive for Brownfields redevelopment successes
A tool for verifying site status as a Brownfields for certain incentives offered by state agencies
A link to multiple additional sources of Brownfields information
In 1997, the "Brownfield and Contaminated Site Remediation Act" (P.L. 1997,
c.278 ) established the New Jersey Brownfields Redevelopment Task Force to
coordinate policy on Brownfields redevelopment regarding incentives,
regulations, infrastructure and redevelopment planning assistance. One of the
key tasks of the Task Force is to develop an inventory of Brownfields sites and
to assist in marketing and prioritizing those sites. The NJ Brownfields
Redevelopment Task Force is served and managed by the
Brownfields Program in the Office for Planning Advocacy.
