Why consider a Brownfield Site
Same due diligence as “greenfield” sites Transportation Labor pool Utility availability and capacity Proximity to low-cost power Geotechnical Land cost
Environmental Conditions Impacted soil Impacted groundwater Structural remediation and demolition Long-term operation and maintenance of remedial
measures Soil vapor extraction Sub-slab depressurization Groundwater pump & treat Engineering oversight

Upon issue of COC, State releases the COC holder and previous owners from liability arising out of the presence of contamination at the Site
This release extends to successors and assigns and is transferable to future owners
Transfer of property often includes environmental liability transfer Preferred Purchaser indemnifies seller of future environmental liability Pollution Legal Liability insurance for third party claims and unknown conditions

Brownfield Cleanup Program
Developer’s Perspective What’s working?
• WNY Continuing to benefit from redevelopment of numerous brownfield properties
• Key component to the revitalization of downtown Buffalo and Upstate NewYork
• Increased controls to BCP entry limit the State’s exposure• Lenders understand and monetize tax credits
What could be better?• NYSDEC and DOH reviews delay project schedules• NYSDTF delays refunding the tax credits• Federal income taxes applied to State tax credit
What’s next?• Provide a similar program at the Federal level
