Brownfield Inventory

A Brownfields Inventory is a valuable planning tool for communities looking to identify and prioritize areas for redevelopment. CEI’s Brownfields Inventories aim to identify and rank Brownfield sites in a community with the greatest potential for redevelopment and put the community on-track to obtain funding for assessment and streamlined remediation activities.CEI’s approach to developing a Brownfields Inventory considers the objectives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Integrated Approach for Brownfields Redevelopment Study.

These include: 

  • Create investment opportunities in urban areas which ultimately provide increased tax revenues and jobs.

  • Reduce human health and environmental risk. 

  • Provide benefits to low income and minority populations by revitalizing their neighborhoods.

CEI’s inventory approach and reproducible methodology can serve as a reference to substantiate requests for assistance from the many federal and state Brownfield programs that are readily available. Download the following for a brief summary of the inventory process.

TRIAD

TRIAD is a hazardous waste assessment, sampling and cleanup methodology, originally published by the U.S. EPA to address large military cleanup sites. The original TRIAD describes three components of a more efficient approach to cleaning up hazardous waste sites, including: 1) systematic planning, 2) a dynamic work strategy, and 3) real-time monitoring. CEI has adopted a modified TRIAD methodology that builds on and improves it.
