"Brownfields
property" is defined as "abandoned idled or underused property"
which could have possible or actual environmental contamination.
On October 1, 1997, The Brownfields Property Reuse Act of 1997
went into effect in North Carolina. Under this law, a potential
purchaser or seller of contaminated real property may enter
a "brownfields agreement" with NCDENR.
Those
who are eligible to enter a brownfields agreement, "Prospective
Developers", must have no connection to the contamination on
the property. Liability protection and reduced cleanup levels
are part of a brownfields agreement. The amount of contamination
which must be removed is only as much as will make the site
safe for its intended use.
