The Revitalization Handbook

"The Revitalization Handbook - Revitalizing Contaminated Lands: Addressing Liability Concerns" (2014 Edition of The Revitalization Handbook) summarizes the federal statutory provisions and EPA policy and guidance documents that address the potential liability concerns of parties involved in the cleanup and revitalization of contaminated sites. It is designed for use by parties involved in the assessment, cleanup, and revitalization of sites, and provides a basic description of the tools that may be available to address liability concerns associated with several environmental statutes.

The Revitalization Handbook discusses the statutory protections under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, commonly known as Superfund), initiatives and guidance, and potential liability concerns under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
