This practical discussion of the investigation, funding, and implementation process will focus on the California voluntary cleanup program’s abilities and impediments for transforming a historically contaminated brownfields site into infill residential housing, including an evaluation of environmental justice perspectives and the application to affordable housing, and community benefits and opportunities for involvement. This panel will feature tips and warnings of how to navigate the governmental voluntary oversight process, from application to closure, with comparison to when the third-party professional engineer (PE) oversight option is best utilized in California. This discussion will also pull in funding aspects, from government funding to an introduction to the practical applications of insurance archaeology and CERCLA contribution litigation to fund the transformation of dirty dirt eyesores into much needed housing.
