This 32-page issue of EBJ provides a snapshot of the $7-billion U.S. Site Remediation Industry with the latest market data on the remediation business by EBJ, survey results, forecasts and interviews with more than 25 remediation, development and environmental consulting & engineering executives and other sources. Profiles reveal that companies are taking a variety of paths—and making a variety of partnerships—to lead to success in brownfields and remediation.
The term “brownfields” entered the lexicon of the environmental industry a little more than ten years ago, when EPA, urged on by then-Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and other municipal leaders, established a program to take action on contaminated properties that were sitting in a kind of limbo. These properties didn’t present hazards sufficient to warrant listing on the National Priorities List (NPL), and they weren’t sitting in any corporate portfolio, awaiting “corrective action” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These were abandoned properties, acting as a drag on local economies, untouched because of the fear of contamination.
It has not been uncommon over the past decade to hear professionals lament that the brownfields market has been slower to develop than once thought likely, despite the efforts of EPA, other federal agencies, states, and cities to urge the market forward with grants, financial incentives, and incremental improvements in liability relief. Perhaps it was ever thus with emerging markets: The factors that allow them to take off converge at times unforeseen. So it is with brownfields in 2005-2006. With the last year to two years, the opportunities for taking impaired properties and returning them to productive use have been flowing. EBJ’s annual analysis of remediation revenues reflect the trend. What we once called ‘privately-instigated cleanups’ accounted for 10% of revenues in 1990; what we now call ‘redevelopment cleanups’ will account for one-third of more than $7 billion in remediation revenues in 2006, and fueled growth of almost 6% in 2005, the highest growth rate in the U.S. remediation market since 1992.
One dominating factor in recent brownfields growth has been a very healthy real-estate market, particularly in major cities like Chicago, Denver, Atlanta, San Diego, and New York City, but also increasingly in smaller cities with fewer than 250,000 people. A factor working alongside this significant demand for housing is the growing restraint placed by cities and towns on where developers may build. Still other factors underlying the vibrancy of brownfields redevelopment are the maturity of the insurance market and of the legal frameworks supporting the turnaround of impaired properties. Lastly, aiding significantly in growing comfort level have been legislative initiatives on both the state and the federal levels.
