The primary goals of the Brownfield Redevelopment Act (links to Statutes) are:

Create financial and regulatory incentives to encourage voluntary cleanup and redevelopment of sites

Derive cleanup target levels and a process for obtaining a "No Further Action" letter using Risk-Based Corrective Action principles

Provide the opportunity for Environmental Equity and Justice.
