Improving the Predictability of Petroleum Brownfield Restoration
It’s no secret that the United States has an aging infrastructure problem. The public’s attention is focused on the repair of roadways and bridges, but there is also an ongoing initiative to address the existing infrastructure of legacy underground storage tanks, abandoned gas stations and truck stops, that are designated petroleum brownfields. As of July 2021, approximately 21 ...

Brownfield Development Will Help the Global Housing Crisis
Brownfields no longer have to be unused, derelict sites. Land contaminated with explosive materials, hydrocarbons and other organic contaminants, can be safely reclaimed for residential and mixed-use purposes to help address housing and real estate shortages. And contaminated soil no longer has to be trucked to a landfill where it will create future environmental liabilities. Treating the ...
