Superfund Sites with Industrial Reuse
Industrial use of formerly contaminated properties refers to traditional light and heavy industrial uses - processing, manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, and treatment. Examples of industrial uses include factories, warehouses, waste disposal sites, and salvage yards.

In-Depth Case Studies - Industrial
Find in-depth case studies highlighting industrial reuse. In-depth case studies take a close start-to-finish look at how a site was returned to use, including a detailed discussion of barriers, strategies for overcoming barriers, key stakeholders, partnerships critical for moving a project forward, and resources secured to make reuse visions a reality.
Beneficial Effects Economic Case Studies - Industrial
Find beneficial effects economic case studies highlighting industrial reuse. A beneficial effects economic case study gathers more complete information related to reuse, employment and other beneficial effects.
Fact Sheets - Industrial
Find fact sheets highlighting industrial reuse. The fact sheets provide information about the reuse activities at the site, the site owner's planning and development process, geographic location, past cleanup activities, and contacts for more information. The fact sheets have been designed to be useful documents for site owners, future site users, prospective purchasers, lenders and developers. Sites are categorized depending on whether or not cleanup at the site is complete, and whether the site is already in reuse. Many sites that are in reuse can support additional use. In some cases, the previous use of these sites may make additional use even easier.
