Revitalizing Southeastern Communities
, flftr -f
Georgia
In 2002, Georgia's Brownfields Law, the Hazardous Site Reuse and Redevelopment Act (HSRA), was
amended to better facilitate brownfields revitalization in the State. Under the revised law, HSRA
applies to all contaminated property, whether or not the property is listed on Georgia's Hazardous
Site Inventory. The revisions also eliminated the requirement to clean up groundwater. The changes
expanded the number of sites for which prospective developers could receive liability safeguards and
made it easier for innocent purchasers to receive immunity from third-party claims.
Several cleanup and oversight programs are administered by Georgia's Environmental Protection
Division (EPD). Using EPA funding, Georgia recently created a Public Record for properties subject to
voluntary clean-up actions. An institutional controls tracking system was also developed to monitor
sites on the State's Hazardous Site Inventory.
Tax incentives are available for brownfields revitalization efforts. A property owner may identify
qualifying expenses that, if certified by EPD, can be used to offset property taxes as the site's value
increases. This benefit continues for ten years or until all qualifying costs have been recovered,
whichever comes first. Additionally, a 2002 Constitutional Amendment allowed brownfields to be
classified differently for tax purposes.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
Section 128(a)1
Public Record
Georgia's state response program currently manages a number of cleanup and oversight
programs within the various branches of the Environmental Protection Division (EPD).
The majority of these activities are carried out under the provisions of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and they include hazardous and solid waste
management, emergency response activities, and underground storage tank management.
The Hazardous Waste Management Branch (HWMB) conducts RCRA hazardous waste
management activities and is also funded to conduct federal assessment and/or oversight
activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA). In addition to these federally funded response activities, the Hazardous
Site Response Act (HSRA), Georgia's state superfund statute, was enacted in 1992 to
supplement Georgia's ability to address releases of hazardous waste and hazardous
constituents. The state response program thus administers cleanup of many types of site
impacts, whether resulting from releases of hazardous waste, hazardous constituents, or
petroleum.
In the past, many impacted or potentially impacted properties passed through the state
response program without triggering action under any federal or state authority. These
properties occupied a "no-man's land" where a lack of state resources for cleanup
oversight and approval caused them to languish for years as blighted properties. In 2002,
the Hazardous Site Reuse and Redevelopment Act (Georgia's brownfields statute) was
amended to include liability protection for purchasers of contaminated sites, provided that
cleanup standards are met. This legislation, along with the tax incentive passed in 2003,
has resulted in greater attention being focused on redevelopment of contaminated
properties statewide. Georgia sought federal funding under the CERCLA 128(a) program,
in order to build state capacity to manage cleanup of these properties. The CERCLA
128(a) funding significantly enhances the capability of the state response program,
through establishment of a voluntary cleanup program under the HWMB of EPD, to
enable these properties to proceed more quickly towards cleanup, reuse and revitalization.
Key elements of the FFY2004 efforts under this grant were establishment of the public
record and the institutional controls tracking mechanism. Georgia's public record for
properties undergoing voluntary cleanup includes this summary, which provides names
and locations of properties where response actions have been completed and identifies
properties where response actions are planned. The summary also identifies whether the
site is suitable for unrestricted use. The summary will be updated as applications for
limitations of liability are received. The larger component of the public record for
voluntary cleanups consists of the document repository, or site files, available for review
at 2 Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. SE, Suite 1154 East Tower, Atlanta, Georgia, from 8:00
am until 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. The document repository includes all
documents that are being relied upon or developed for making cleanup decisions or

conducting site activities. It also records a legal description of each property that has been
designated as a brownfield, and contains a certification of the appropriate risk reduction
standard (residential or non-residential) for soils on each property, as well as a
characterization of groundwater quality. The document repository also includes limitation
of liability letters issued pursuant to the Hazardous Site Reuse and Redevelopment Act.
These letters function as both "ready for reuse" determinations and prospective purchaser
agreements. Files for all properties that have been proposed for a response action, have
response actions underway, or have completed response actions are available for review.
The HSRA program maintains a parallel system of site records for the hazardous site
inventory properties. Files on state superfund sites include all decision documents, plans,
reports, and correspondence related to site condition and site activities. These files are
available for review at 2 Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. SE, Suite 1462 East Tower, Atlanta,
Georgia, from 8:00 am until 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. An annual publication,
which can be accessed via the internet at www.dnr.state.ga.us/dnr/environ/ , provides
detailed summaries of individual sites and updates the status of cleanups. In addition, the
state superfund program also has mandated public notice requirements for site decision.

Article 1. General Provisions Regarding Ad Valorem Taxation of Property,
so as to Provide for Preferential Assessment of Environmentally
Contaminated Property
48-5-2. Definitions
As used in this chapter, the term:
(1) 'Current use value' of bona fide conservation use property means the amount a
knowledgeable buyer would pay for the property with the intention of continuing the
property in its existing use and in an arm's length, bona fide sale and shall be determined in
accordance with the specifications and criteria provided for in subsection (b) of Code Section
48-5-269.
(2) 'Current use value' of bona fide residential transitional property means the amount a
knowledgeable buyer would pay for the property with the intention of continuing the

fide residential transitional property:
(A) The current use of such property;
(B) Annual productivity; and
(C) Sales data of comparable real property with and for the same existing use.
(3) 'Fair market value of property' means the amount a knowledgeable buyer would pay for
the property and a willing seller would accept for the property at an arm's length, bona fide
sale. With respect to the valuation of equipment, machinery, and fixtures when no ready
market exists for the sale of the equipment, machinery, and fixtures, fair market value may be
determined by resorting to any reasonable, relevant, and useful information available
including, but not limited to, the original cost of the property, any depreciation or
obsolescence, and any increase in value by reason of inflation. Each tax assessor shall have
access to any public records of the taxpayer for the purpose of discovering such information.
(A) In determining the fair market value of a going business where its continued operation is
reasonably anticipated, the tax assessor may value the equipment, machinery, and fixtures
which are the property of the business as a whole where appropriate to reflect the accurate
fair market value.
(B) The tax assessor shall consider the following criteria in determining the fair market value
of real property:

appraised fair market value of the property as recorded in the county tax digest at the time
preliminary certification on such property was received by the county board of tax assessors
pursuant to subsection (c) of Code Section 48-5-7.2;
(ii) For the ninth year in which the property is classified as 'rehabilitated historic property,'
the value of the property as determined by division (i) of this subparagraph plus one-half of
the difference between such value and the current fair market value exclusive of the
provisions of this subparagraph; and
(iii) For the tenth and following years, the fair market value of such property as determined
by the provisions of this paragraph, excluding the provisions of this subparagraph.
(D) Fair market value of'landmark historic property' as such term is defined in subsection (a)
of Code Section 48-5-7.3 means:
(i) For the first eight years in which the property is classified as 'landmark historic property,'
the value equal to the greater of the acquisition cost of the property or the appraised fair
market value of the property as recorded in the county tax digest at the time certification on
such property was received by the county board of tax assessors pursuant to subsection (c) of
Code Section 48-5-7.3;
(ii) For the ninth year in which the property is classified as 'landmark historic property,' the
value of the property as determined by division (i) of this subparagraph plus one-half of the
difference between such value and the current fair market value exclusive of the provisions
of this subparagraph; and
(iii) For the tenth and following years, the fair market value of such property as determined
by the provisions of this paragraph, excluding the provisions of this subparagraph.
(E) Timber shall be valued at its fair market value at the time of its harvest or sale in the
manner specified in Code Section 48-5-7.5.
(F) Fair market value of'brownfield property' as such term is defined in subsection (a) of
Code Section 48-5-7.6 means:
(i) Unless sooner disqualified pursuant to subsection (e) of Code Section 48-5-7.6, for the
first ten years in which the property is classified as 'brownfield property,' the value equal to
the lesser of the acquisition cost of the property or the appraised fair market value of the
property as recorded in the county tax digest at the time application was made to the
Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources for participation
under Article 9 of Chapter 8 of Title 12, the 'Hazardous Sites Reuse and Redevelopment Act,'
as amended;
(ii) Unless sooner disqualified pursuant to subsection (e) of Code Section 48-5-7.6, for the
eleventh and following years, the fair market value of such property as determined by the
provisions of this paragraph, excluding the provisions of this subparagraph.

with such application. The county board of tax assessors shall determine if the provisions of
this Code section have been complied with, and upon such determination, the county board
of tax assessors shall be required to grant preferential assessment to such property. The
county board of tax assessors shall make the determination within 90 days after receiving the
application and shall notify the applicant in the same manner that notices of assessment are
given pursuant to Code Section 48-5-306. Failure to timely make such determination or so
notify the applicant pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed an approval of the
application. Appeals from the denial of an application for preferential assessment by the
board of tax assessors shall be made in the same manner that other property tax appeals are
made pursuant to Code Section 48-5-311.
(d)(1) Property which has been classified by the county board of tax assessors as brownfield
property shall be immediately eligible for the preferential assessment provided for in
subsection (c.4) of Code Section 48-5-7; provided, however, that, for the purposes of
determining the years of eligibility for preferential assessment the tax year following the
-------
time application for participation in the Hazardous Site Reuse and Redevelopment Program
was submitted to the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural
Resources under Article 9 of Chapter 8 of Title 12, the 'Georgia Hazardous Site Reuse and
Redevelopment Act,' as amended. Property classified as brownfield property shall be
recorded upon the tax digest as provided in this Code section for ten consecutive assessment
years, unless sooner disqualified pursuant to subsection (e) of this Code section, and the
notation 'brownfield property' shall be entered on the tax digest adjacent to the valuation of
such property to indicate that the property is being preferentially assessed. The local taxing
authority shall also enter upon the tax digest an assessment of the fair market value of the
property each year, excluding the provisions of subparagraph (F) of paragraph (3) of Code
Section 48-5-2.
(e)(1) When property has once been classified and assessed as brownfield property, it shall
remain so classified and be granted the preferential assessment until the property becomes
disqualified by any one of the following:
(A) Written notice by the taxpayer to the local taxing authority to remove the preferential
classification and assessment;
(B) Sale or transfer of ownership to a person not subject to property taxation or making the
property exempt from property taxation except a sale or transfer to any authority created by
or pursuant to the Constitution of Georgia, statute or local legislation, including a
development authority created pursuant to Code Section 36-62-4, constitutional amendment
or local legislation, a downtown development authority created pursuant to Code Section 36-
42-4, an urban redevelopment agency created pursuant to Code Section 36-61-18, a joint
development authority created pursuant to Code Section 36-62-5.1 or a housing authority
created pursuant to Code Section 8-3-4;
(C) Revocation of a limitation of liability by the Department of Natural Resources. The
Department of Natural Resources has the authority to revoke a limitation of liability pursuant
to Article 9 of Chapter 8 of Title 12, the 'Georgia Hazardous Site Reuse and Redevelopment
Act,' as amended. The sale or transfer to a new owner shall not operate to disqualify the
property from preferential classification and assessment so long as the property continues to
qualify as brownfield property, except as specified in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph; or
(D) The expiration of ten years during which the property was classified and assessed as
brownfield property; or
(E) The tax savings accrued on the property equal the eligible brownfield costs certified by
the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources and
submitted to the local taxing authority.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this Code section, if a property becomes disqualified
pursuant to subparagraph (C) of this subsection, the decertification shall be transmitted to the
county board of tax assessors bv the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of
-------
(C) Tax savings realized to date;
(D) Transfers of eligible brownfield costs, if any;
(E) Eligible brownfield costs remaining;
(2) In the tax year in which the taxes otherwise due on the fair market value of the property
exceed any remaining eligible brownfield costs, the taxpayer shall pay the taxes due on the
fair market value of the property less any remaining eligible brownfield costs.
(g) A qualified brownfield property may be transferred or leased and continue to receive
preferential tax treatment if:
(1) The transferee or lessee of the property is an entity required to pay ad valorem property
tax on the qualified brownfield property or an interest therein;

'Georgia Hazardous Site Reuse and Redevelopment Act,' as amended;
(5) The transferee or lessee and the transferor notify the local taxing authority with respect to
the transfer of the qualified brownfield property by filing a separate copy of the transfer with
the local taxing authority no later than 90 days following the date of the transfer;
(6) Failure to timely notify one local taxing authority shall not affect any timely notification
to any other local taxing authority; and
(7) The transfer of property shall not restart, reset or otherwise lengthen the period of
preferential tax treatment pursuant to this Code section.
(h) A qualified brownfield property may be subdivided into smaller parcels and continue to
receive preferential tax treatment if:
(1) All of the requirements of subsection (g) above are met; and
(2) The transferee and transferor agree and jointly submit to the local taxing authority a
sworn affidavit stating the eligible brownfield costs being transferred to the subdivided
property, to wit:
(A) A transferor's report to the local taxing authority shall include:

received;
(v) The eligible brownfield costs remaining;
(vi) A request to establish the taxable base of the transferred property and reestablish the
taxable base for the retained property pursuant to paragraph (3) below.
(B) Failure to file a sworn affidavit with one local taxing authority shall not affect any sworn
-------
of the taxable base for the entire qualified brownfield property. Said ratio shall be applied to
the taxable base as recorded in the county tax digest at the time the application was received
by the Environmental Protection Division for participation in the Hazardous Site Reuse and
Redevelopment Program. The taxable base on the retained qualified brownfield property
shall be decreased by the amount of taxable base assigned to the subdivided portion of the
property.
(4) The subdivision of property shall not restart, reset, or otherwise lengthen the period of
preferential tax treatment pursuant to this Code section.
(i) In the year in which preferential tax treatment ends, the taxpayer shall be liable for any
and all ad valorem taxes due on the property for which a certified eligible brownfield cost is
not claimed as an offset.
(j) The Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources shall
review the eligible costs submitted by the applicant/taxpayer and shall approve or deny those
costs prior to those costs being submitted to the local tax authority. Eligible costs to be
certified as accurate by the Environmental Protection Division shall be submitted by the
applicant to the division at such time and in such form as is prescribed by the division.
Eligible costs may be submitted for certification only once for each assessment or
remediation undertaken pursuant to Article 9 of Chapter 8 of Title 12, the 'Hazardous Sites
Reuse and Redevelopment Act,' as amended. The certification of costs shall be a decision of
the director and may be appealed in accordance with subsection (c) of Code Section 12-2-2.
(k) The taxing authority shall provide an appropriate form or forms or space on an existing
form or forms to implement this Code section.
(1) Taxpayers shall have the same rights to appeal from the determination of the taxable base
and assessments and reassessments of qualified brownfield property as set out in Code
Section 48-5-311.
(m) A penalty shall be imposed under this subsection if during the special classification
period the taxpayer fails to abide by the corrective action plan. The penalty shall be
applicable to the entire tract which is the subject of the special classification and shall be
twice the difference between the total amount of tax paid pursuant to preferential assessment
under this Code section and the total amount of taxes which would otherwise have been due
under this chapter for each completed or partially completed year of the special classification
period. Any such penalty shall bear interest at the rate specified in Code Section 48-2-40
from the date the special classification is breached.
(n) Penalties and interest imposed under this Code section shall constitute a lien against the
property and shall be collected in the same manner as unpaid ad valorem taxes are collected.
Such penalties and interest shall be distributed pro rata to each taxing jurisdiction wherein
current use assessment under this Code section has been granted based upon the total amount
bv which such dreferential assessment has reduced taxes for each such taxing iurisdiction on

What is TRI?
Reports under Section 313 must be submitted annually to EPA and to designated state
agencies. Reports are due by July 1 of each year and cover activities at thefacility
during the previous calendar year.
Under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-
Know Act (EPCRA), facilities are required to report releases and other waste
management of specifically listed chemicals. They are also required to report
transfers of all toxic chemicals for waste management
to off-site locations.
Facilities that met all three of the adjacent criteria are
subject to EPCRA Section 313 release and other waste
management reporting.
Georgia Emergency Response
Commission
The Georgia Emergency Response Commission
receives the toxic release information from facilities
within Georgia. The Environmental Protection
Division of the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) is designated as the state agency to manage this information and to serve as its
repository.
REQUIREMENTS
10 or greater employees
^ Primary SIC code is listed
Manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used, during the year,

The quantities comP^ec^ information about the presence and release of toxic
released are only chemicals in communities within Georgia. This Toxics Release
estimates of amounts Inventory Report is intended to inform the public about the
presence of such releases in their community and to allow better
response should a chemical accident occur.
Facilities must file for each listed chemical that is manufactured, processed or
otherwise used above the threshold limits in a calendar year. The facility must report
information such as:
• Physical address of the facility
• Contact person for questions on the reported information
• On-site uses of the chemicals documented in the report
• Maximum quantities on-site
• Estimated amounts released to the environment
• Accidental release quantities, or one time events not associated with
production events
• Quantities of chemicals transferred off-site for recycling, energy recovery,
treatment, or disposal
• Source reduction activities
• Quantities of chemicals treated or recycled on-site

-------
GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
Data collection
Facilities are not required to monitor, or make additional
measurements to determine the actual amounts released. The
facility is only required to base the reports on measurements and
monitoring data if they are available. The facility may estimate
based upon engineering calculations, mass balance, or emission
factors provided by their equipment manufacturer.
The data provide a general indication of the types and quantities of chemicals released
by manufacturing facilities. The data cannot be used to make conclusions on
environmental quality or public health threats, since they do not provide a
measurement of concentrations in the environment. Most of the releases reported are
regulated by restrictions placed in permits issued by EPD. Releases are allowed only in
a concentration and manner which will not degrade the environment.
HowTRI information is used
The information within the TRI Report bridges communication between facilities and
the surrounding community. Public interest and environmental groups, news media,
community organizations, educators, researchers, industry, consultants, students, local
governments, and private citizens have all made use of the information extracted from
the TRI Report.
Facilities extract data to improve their own processes that may be inefficient or costly,
in terms of the losses they encounter, as well as in waste handling and disposal.
EPD encourages citizens to review the data and research the facilities that share their
community. A county-by-county spreadsheet is provided within this report which lists
all reporting facilities as well as a summary of the reported data. If your county is not
listed on the spreadsheet, no facilities reported information to EPD in your county.
Data limitations
Numerous sources are not required to report under Section 313, such as non-
manufacturing industries, small businesses, motor vehicles, and agricultural operations.
The reader must consider that the TRI Report does not indicate exposure, and cannot
be used to determine the impact on public health. Toxicity, local meteorology,
proximity to the release, as well as the release rate can all affect potential exposure
dangers. A small release of a highly toxic chemical poses a greater risk than a large
release of a less toxic chemical.
The reader may wish to discuss any concerns with the facility or with the Local
Emergency Planning Committee if further information is desired.

As shown in the above table, the major reported release to water is nitrate compounds.
Neither the federal government nor the State of Georgia has established a standard for
nitrates in rivers and lakes.
The main concern about nitrate is in drinking water. The drinking water standard is 10
mg/1. All of Georgia's public drinking water systems have nitrate concentrations well
below this level and are not impaired by nitrates.

POTW Releases
POTW refers to discharges made to Publicly Owned Treatment Works. The
more familiar name for these facilities is public sewage treatment plants.
Chemicals are conveyed through underground sewage pipes along with the
facility's wastewater. They may also be trucked or delivered through other
direct methods. Depending upon the chemical, the POTW may be able to
remove up to 99% of the chemical in the waste stream. The effluent is then
either land applied or released in concentrations that do not affect the surface
waters.

Transfers are shipments of waste to treatment or disposal facilities for the
purpose of disposal, treatment, energy recovery, or recycling. The chemical
may be deposited directly into a landfill, or treated to reduce its toxicity before
release to the environment.
For the 2001 TRI Report, EPD has separated these categories into two
sections. All facilities reporting chemicals disposed are put into one section, and the remaining
three categories (treatment, recovery, and recycling) are put into another section, called recycling.
The reader will notice that the transfers category was left out of the Total Releases Table at the
beginning of this report. You will find the data for the years 1998-2001 below.

This category in the Georgia TRI Report shows accidental release
information. This quantity is typically the result of a direct release to the
environment as a one-time event that is not associated with a production
process. They can include accidental spills or remedial actions not addressed
elsewhere in the report. They may also be associated with a catastrophic event,
such as a fire, flood, or tornado.
EPD finds this category to be most interesting to the reader, as these releases are not permitted
discharges. EPD has included the entire list of reported releases for this category for the benefit of
the reader.

Table Releases not Associated with Production 2001
*The unitfor dioxin and dioxin-like compounds is grams.
As mentioned previously in this report, changes have been made to the
thresholds for persistent bioaccumulative toxic chemicals or compounds,
(PBT's). Mercury compounds, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, and
polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC's) are included in this list.
These chemicals may be carcinogenic, but the most important characteristic of
PBT's is that they remain in the body of the person injesting them. For example if a shrimp
absorbed such a chemical, and a fish ate the shrimp, and then a bigger fish ate that fish. And if
eventually a person ate that fish, he would gain the chemical from all the animals, right down to
the first shrimp.
Dioxin and dioxin-like compounds
has its own table because the
Mercury and PAC's are reported in pounds. The
unit for dioxin and dioxin-like chemicals is in
grams, due to the lower threshold requirement. All
quantities are listed in grams. New releases including these chemicals are listed in the
software allows EPD to list less than following table with the exception of accidental
a gram for the 2001 data. releases, which are noted in the previous table.

Table Top Ten Chemicals Released 2001

-------
County Ileiease Data
The following table is a county-by-county breakdown of all the facilities
that submitted a Toxic Release Inventory Report to Georgia. It does not
include chemical data; such a compilation would be much too vast for the
scope of this report. It does include the subtotals for each category, per
facility, separated by facility and county. Occasionally a facility will have
more than one site within one county, if the reader sees such a case, it is not a mistake.
Again, if a county is not listed within this table, no facility within that county reported TRI
information to EPD.

§ 12-8-206. Criteria for prospective purchasers to qualify for limitation of liability
(a) To qualify for a limitation of liability as provided in Code Section 12-8-207, a prospective
purchaser must meet the following criteria:
(1) The prospective purchaser must not be a person who has contributed or who is
-------
(4) The prospective purchaser must not be in violation of any order, judgment, statute, rule, or
regulation subject to the enforcement authority of the director; and
(5) The prospective purchaser must meet such other criteria as may be established by the
board pursuant to Code Section 12-8-203.
(b) The director may grant a variance from the eligibility requirements contained in paragraphs
(2), (3), (4), and (5) of subsection (a) of this Code section if the director finds that such criteria
would render a prospective purchaser ineligible for a limitation of liability under this article, that no
other qualified prospective purchaser has applied for a limitation of liability for the qualifying
property, and that:
(1) Such ineligibility would result in the continuation of a condition which poses a threat to
human health and the environment;
(2) The director would likely be required to perform the necessary corrective action using
funds from the hazardous waste trust fund; and
(3) In all probability, the director would be unable to recover the cost of the corrective action
as provided in Code Section 12-8-96.1.
The director may place such conditions upon the grant of a variance as he or she deems appropriate
including, without limitation, a provision relating to the time all or a portion of the corrective action
must be completed, and if the applicant fails to comply with such conditions the director may
modify or withdraw such variance.

groundwater, perform corrective action, or otherwise be liable for any preexisting releases to
groundwater associated with the qualifying property.
(b)(1) For qualifying properties which the director has designated as needing corrective action in
accordance with paragraph (8) of subsection (a) of Code Section 12-8-97, any party desiring to
qualify for a limitation of liability pursuant to this Code section shall submit a prospective purchaser
corrective action plan to the division. The corrective action plan shall, at minimum, enumerate and
describe in detail those actions planned and proposed to bring any source material or soil found on
the qualifying property into compliance with all applicable rules and regulations adopted by the
board governing the investigation, cleanup, and corrective action at properties listed on the
hazardous site inventory. A corrective action plan submitted by a prospective purchaser under this
subsection shall be in such form and meet such criteria as established by the board.
(2) The prospective purchaser shall submit proof of financial assurance, in such form as
specified by the director, of his or her ability to implement the corrective action plan.
(3) Upon the director's approval of the prospective purchaser corrective action plan, it shall be
the responsibility of the prospective purchaser to implement said plan. The director's approval of a
prospective purchaser corrective action plan shall not in any way be construed as a guarantee,
promise, or assurance that the director will concur with the prospective purchaser's certification of
compliance for source material and soil in accordance with the provisions of this Code section.
Compliance with the appropriate risk reduction standards for source material or soil in effect at the
time the director's concurrence is sought is the sole responsibility of the prospective purchaser. The
prospective purchaser shall not acquire a vested right to the director's concurrence regardless of the
expenditure of money. The prospective purchaser shall implement the corrective action plan with
the understanding that the requirements of corrective action necessary to obtain a limitation of
liability are subject to change because of newly discovered facts or subsequent changes in state or
federal laws, rules, or regulations.
(4) The director's approval of the prospective purchaser corrective action plan shall specify a
time within which the prospective purchaser must certify the qualifying property to be in
compliance with the risk reduction standards for source material or soil in order to maintain the
limitation of liability provided for by subsection (a) of this Code section. The director may revoke
the limitation of liability provided for by subsection (a) of this Code section if the prospective
purchaser fails to certify compliance within such time.
(5) If at any time the director determines that any element of an approved prospective
purchaser corrective action plan must be modified in order to achieve compliance with the risk
reduction standards for source material or soil or that the corrective action is not being implemented
in accordance with the corrective action plan, the director may revoke his or her approval of the
plan and the limitation of liability by providing the prospective purchaser with written notification
specifying the basis for making such determination and requesting modification and resubmission
of a modified plan or an opportunity to address any deficiencies in implementing the corrective
-------
(c) For those qualifying properties which the director has not yet designated as being in need of
corrective action, any party desiring to qualify for a limitation of liability as provided in this Code
section shall certify the qualifying property to be in compliance with the risk reduction standards for
source material or soil by submitting a compliance status report to the division in such form as
provided by rules and regulations adopted by the board. A compliance status report submitted by a
prospective purchaser under this subsection shall be in such form and meet such criteria as
established by the board. The qualifying property will be deemed in compliance with the risk
reduction standards for source material or soil upon the prospective purchaser's receipt of the
director's written concurrence with the compliance status report.
(d) A person who holds indicia of ownership executed by the prospective purchaser primarily to
protect said person's security interest in the qualifying property or who acts in good faith solely in a
fiduciary capacity and who did not actively participate in the management, disposal, or release of
hazardous wastes, hazardous constituents, or hazardous substances on or from the qualifying
property shall not be liable to the state or any third party for costs incurred in the remediation of,
equitable relief relating to, or damages resultant from the preexisting release at the qualifying
property.
(e) When a person who holds indicia of ownership executed by the prospective purchaser
primarily to protect said person's security interest in the qualifying property takes title to the
qualifying property from the prospective purchaser via foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure,
such new titleholder shall maintain his or her limitation of liability under subsection (d) of this Code
section if:
(1) The director is informed in writing of the transfer of title; and
(2) Within 180 days, or such other time period as specified by the director, of said transfer of
title, the new titleholder:
(A) Presents the name of a new party who qualifies as a prospective purchaser for the
qualifying property along with said new party's written assurance, including financial assurance,
that the prospective purchaser corrective action plan will be fully implemented; or
(B) Submits a statement in writing that the new titleholder complies with the requirements
applicable to prospective purchasers under this article.

§ 12-8-208. Exceptions to limitation of liability
(a) The limitation of liability provided by subsection (a) of Code Section 12-8-207 shall be
contingent upon the prospective purchaser's good faith implementation of the corrective action plan
as approved by the director as well as the certification of compliance with the risk reduction
standards and corrective action requirements. Such limitation of liability shall not be applicable to
any activities conducted on the qualifying property before the director's approval of the corrective
action plan or concurrence with a certification of compliance, whichever first occurs, or during any
time the director's approval of the corrective action plan has been suspended or revoked.
(b) The limitation of liability provided by this article shall not affect any right of
indemnification which any person has or may acquire by contract against any other person who is
otherwise liable for creating an environmental hazard; apply to persons who intentionally,
wantonly, or willfully violate federal or state regulations in the cleanup process; or apply to any
release occurring or continuing after the date of the certification of compliance unless any such
continuing release is specifically addressed in the director's concurrence with the certification of
compliance.
(c) The limitation of liability provided by this article shall be fully transferable to the heirs,
assigns, and designees of the person to whom such limitation of liability is granted; provided,
however, that in no event shall the director's approval of a corrective action plan or concurrence
with a certification of compliance operate to absolve from liability any party deemed to be a person
who has contributed or is contributing to a release at the qualifying property. A transfer of the title

from obtaining a limitation of liability under Code Section 12-8-206 shall terminate any limitation
of liability applicable to the transferor under this article.

Institutional Controls
Hazardous Site Inventory
Georgia's state superfund law, the Hazardous Site Response Act (O.C.G.A. §12-8-90),
establishes requirements for institutional controls at sites that have been placed on the
hazardous site inventory (the state superfund list). These requirements apply to all listed
sites prior to attainment of cleanup standards, and continue to apply to certain sites even
after cleanup is complete. The Rules for Hazardous Site Response (Chapter 391-3-19)
identify five cleanup standards, called risk reduction standards, that apply to all listed
sites. Types 1 and 2 are residential standards (Type 1 using standard assumptions and
Type 2 site-specific assumptions), and Type 3 and 4 are non-residential (again, standard
and site specific, respectively). The Type 5 standard is applied at sites where achievement
of the Types 1-4 standards is impracticable, and institutional and/or engineering controls
must be relied on as a part of the remedy.
The Rules for Hazardous Site Response define institutional control requirements as
follows:
391-3-19-.08 Property Notices
(1) Notices to private property instruments. This Rule applies to the owner of any
property that is included in a site which is listed on the Hazardous Site Inventory and
which has been designated as needing corrective action pursuant to Rule 391-3-19-.06(6).
The requirements of this paragraph do not apply to the owner of any property at the site
where the Director concurs with a demonstration that the property complies,
independently of other properties at the site, with either Type 1 or Type 2 risk reduction
standards.
(a) From and after the date any owner receives written notice from the Director under
Rule 391-3-19-.06(6)(d) that property of such owner that is listed on the Hazardous Site
Inventory has been designated as needing corrective action, the owner of any such
property shall include the following notice in any warranty deed, mortgage, security
deed, lease, rental agreement, or other instrument that is thereafter given or caused to be
given by the property owner which creates an interest in or grants a use of the property:
"This property has been listed on the state's hazardous site inventory and has been
designated as needing corrective action due to the presence of hazardous wastes,
-------
(b) Rule 391-3-19-.08(l)(a) shall not apply after filing of the affidavit referred to in
Rule 391-3-19-.08(6).
(2) Affidavit in county deed records. No later than forty five (45) days from the date
the Director issues the written notice pursuant to Rule 391-3-19-.06(6)(d) that a property
or part thereof listed on the Hazardous Site Inventory has been designated as needing
corrective action, the owner of any such property shall cause to be prepared an affidavit
of such fact in recordable form as set forth in O.C.G.A. § 44-2-20 and shall file such
affidavit with the clerk of the superior court of each county in which the real property or
any part thereof lies. Such affidavit shall be recorded in the clerk's deed records pursuant
to O.C.G.A. § 44-2-20. Such affidavit shall include the statement provided in Rule 391-
3-19-.08(l). The requirements of this paragraph do not apply to the owner of any
property where the Director concurs with a demonstration that the property complies,
independently of other properties at the site, with either Type 1 or Type 2 risk reduction
standards.
(3) Petitions for hearing. The notices required by Rule 391-3-19-.08(l) and (2) shall be
stayed if the property owner files a petition for a hearing in accordance with O.C.G.A.
12-8-73 within thirty (30) days of the date the Director issues the written notice pursuant
to Rule 391-3-19-.06(6)(d) that the site upon which the property is located needs
corrective action.
(4) Documentation of property notices. Within thirty (30) days after the recorded
affidavit required by Rule 391-3-19-.08(2) is returned by the county clerk to the property
owner, the property owner shall submit a copy of such recorded affidavit to EPD.
(5) Director's affidavit in county deed records. Where ownership or control of any
real property at a site subject to Rule 391-3-19-.08(l) and (2) is involuntarily acquired by
a unit of state or local government through bankruptcy, tax delinquency, abandonment, or
other circumstances in which the government involuntarily acquires title by virtue of its
function as sovereign, the Director shall give thirty (30) days notice to any person who
owned, operated, or otherwise controlled activities at the property immediately
beforehand that the property is subject to the requirements of Rule 391-3-19-.08 and that,
barring said person's contest under Rule 391-3-19-.08(3), the Director shall prepare and
file the notice referenced in Rule 391-3-19-.08(2).
(6) Subsequent affidavits. If, subsequent to the filing of the initial affidavit referenced
in Rule 391-13-19-.08(2), the Director determines that no further action is needed, and
-------
hazardous constituents, or hazardous substances regulated under state law.
However, this property has since been designated as needing no further action and
has been removed from the state's hazardous site inventory. A copy of that
determination is attached hereto. The notice requirements of O.C.G.A. § 12-8-97
no longer apply to this property and prior notices given under this code section
are no longer in effect. The property owner or the Georgia Environmental
Protection Division may be contacted for further information concerning this
property. This notice is provided in compliance with the Georgia Hazardous Site
Response Act."
(7) Restrictive covenants. The owner of any property at which the Type 5 risk
reduction standards of Rule 391-3-19-.07(10) are being used shall, upon the request of
the Director, execute a restrictive covenant for such property. The covenant shall be
recorded with the clerk of superior court for the county in which the property is located,
and a copy shall be provided to any zoning or land use planning authority that has
jurisdiction over the property. Such restrictions shall run with the land and be binding on
the owner's successors and assigns. If the Director determines subsequent to the
execution and recording of the restrictive covenant that the property is in compliance
with Type 1, 2, 3, or 4 risk reduction standards and removes the property from the
Hazardous Site Inventory, the Director shall so notify the property owner whereupon the
restrictive covenant may be amended or revoked. The restrictive covenant shall be
prepared by the Director and may include, but not necessarily be limited to, provisions to
accomplish the following:
(a) Prohibit activities on the property that may substantially interfere with a remedial
action, operation and maintenance, long-term monitoring, or other measures necessary to
ensure the integrity of the remedial action.
(b) Prohibit activities that may result in human exposures above those specified for
residential scenarios in Rule 391-3-19-.07(6) and (7) or for non-residential scenarios
at Rule 391-3-19-.07(8) and (9), whichever scenario is applicable, and activities that
would result in the release of a regulated substance which has been remedied in
accordance with Rule 391-3-19-.07(10).
(c) Allow the Director to enforce the restrictions set forth in the covenant by legal
action in a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
(d) Reauire the installation and maintenance of a permanent marker on each side of the
-------
Funding under the CERCLA 128(a) grant has allowed the enhancement of Georgia's
institutional control capability. Properties where voluntary cleanup takes place under
Georgia's Hazardous Site Reuse and Redevelopment (Brownfields) Act may be subject
to any of the abovementioned institutional control mechanisms. Determination of the
need for such measures is made on a case-by-case basis, however, certain baseline
institutional control provisions apply.
Any property that is certified to a residential risk reduction standard (Types 1 or 2) is
considered to require no institutional controls. Any property that certifies to a non-
residential risk reduction standard (Types 3, 4, or 5) is considered to have a de facto land-
use control in place. Because there is no statutory requirement for institutional controls at
sites that are not listed on the hazardous site inventory, Georgia will use CERCLA 128(a)
funding to track, monitor, and enforce these land use restrictions. Periodic verification of
land use consistent with the risk reduction standards will be achieved through visual
inspection of a percentage of properties each year, and may include updates through
correspondence on the remainder. Changes in land use that result in non-compliance with
a risk reduction standard are subject to loss of the liability limitation issued under
Georgia's Brownfields law, and may result in enforcement action.

are used, one for sites listed on the state superfund list, the
Hazardous Site Inventory (HSI) and one for contaminated
sites that are not listed. Brownfields designation is made
upon request of program applicant for cleanup cost
certification.
Program titles: Hazardous Waste Management Branch,
Environmental Protection Division, Georgia Department of
Natural Resources:
• Corrective Action Program (oversees non-listed site
cleanups)
• Hazardous Waste Facilities Compliance Program
(oversees HSI-listed site cleanups)
Liability relief provisions: The Hazardous Site Reuse and
Redevelopment Act (HSRRA) (OCGA §12-8-200, as
amended) provides limited liability relief for prospective
purchasers of contaminated property who voluntarily agree
to remediate soil and source material to promulgated risk
reduction standards. Qualified prospective purchasers,
upon approval of the prospective purchaser corrective
action plan or concurrence with the certification of
compliance described in the HSRRA, whichever first
occurs, are not liable to the state or any third party for costs
incurred in the remediation of, equitable relief relating to, or
damages resultant from preexisting releases, and are not
required to certify compliance with risk reduction standards
for ground water, perform corrective action, or
otherwise be liable for any preexisting releases to
ground water associated with the qualifying property.
Financial incentives (grants, loans, tax provisions,
etc.): Tax abatement provisions are available for
recovery of certified cleanup costs at qualifying
properties.
Legislative or program site eligibility
requirements: Eligibility requirements pertain to both
properties and prospective purchasers of properties. In
order to qualify, the property must have a preexisting
release; any lien filed under the state superfund
statute against the property must be satisfied, and the
property must not be listed on the federal National
Priorities List (NPL); be currently undergoing response
activities required by an EPA order; or be a hazardous
waste facility. Responsible parties and their affiliates
are ineligible for the program.
Financial Elements
Assessment and cleanup funding (source, amount,
relationship toVCP/brownfields programs,
application process, eligibility requirements,
dedication to special types of sites such as
petroleum, dry cleaners, abandoned drug labs,
etc.): No monetary grants or loans are provided for
under the program; however, a limited amount of direct
assistance, in the form of Targeted Brownfields
Assessment, is provided to eligible entities subject to
state criteria and available from Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) 128(a) State and Tribal Response
Program Grant funds (Response Program Grant).
Tax incentives (abatements, credits, etc.): Article 1
of Chapter 5 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia
was amended in 2003 to provide for preferential
assessment of environmentally contaminated property
that has entered the Brownfields Program. The
preferential assessment freezes the ad valorem value
of the property for the first of a period of ten years, or
until the certified cleanup costs have been recovered
through tax savings.
Other forms of support (environmental insurance,
brownfields redevelopment authorities, etc.): No
information available
Program Elements
Technical Elements
Methods/standards/controls: Risk reduction
standards promulgated under the Georgia Hazardous
Site Response Act (the state Superfund statute) are
used to determine compliance with cleanup
requirements under the Brownfields Program. These
risk-based standards provide four options for cleanup,
all of which are designed to protect human health and

prevent degradation of ground water quality: standardized
residential; site-specific residential; standardized non-
residential; and site-specific non-residential. For sites
where these four standards cannot be applied, a fifth option
provides for control measures (institutional controls,
engineering controls, and or monitoring, as appropriate) to
be maintained.
Contaminants covered/excluded: Petroleum, on-site
hazardous substances that have not been released to the
environment.
Use of long-term stewardship and institutional controls
(tracking, oversight, monitoring, reopeners): Georgia
has promulgated institutional controls provisions for
brownfields sites that are on the state superfund list and
that have not certified compliance with a residential risk
reduction standard for soil and ground water. For non-listed
brownfields properties (which do not have such regulatory
requirements) Georgia will be using Response Program
Grant funding to inspect, monitor, and track institutional
controls. A database of all such controls has been
developed under the Response Program Grant. Georgia's
brownfields statute contains provisions for revocation of the
limitation of liability for failure to conduct approved
cleanups or failure to abide by land-use controls embodied
in the certification of compliance with risk reduction
standards.
Management & Implementation Elements
Voluntary Cleanup Program MOA with EPA: No
Costs to enter program or fees for service: A non-
refundable $3,000 application review fee is required to
participate in the program. Additional fees may be invoiced
if the review costs exceed the initial fee. These fees are
deposited in the state's general treasury.
Funding source for administrative costs and
staff: Funding for staff and administrative costs for both the
listed and non-listed sites comes from a Response Program
Grant from EPA. Although a $3,000 application review fee is
required for participation in the program, the Georgia
General Assembly is not obligated to appropriate these
funds back to the Environmental Protection Division for its
operating budget.
Cleanup Activities
Sites currently in VCP: 16(10 non-HSI and 6 HSI).
Sites completed under VCP: 19(11 non-HSI and 8 HSI).
Benefits (incentives to participate in the VCP, covenants
not to sue, etc.): Participants receive limitations of liability
prior to purchase of property and can qualify for tax
abatement following completion of cleanup. Participants
have commented on the utility of the limitation of liability
letters in securing private financing for redevelopment.
Public Participation
Public participation requirements (notice, comment
periods, etc.): Brownfields sites that are regulated through
listing on the state Superfund list have a statutory
requirement for public notice and a 30-day public comment
period on cleanup plans and delisting. For non-listed
brownfields properties, the provisions of the Georgia Open
Records Act pertain. All documents relating to the site
cleanup are available for review by the public during
regular business hours. The Georgia Environmental
Protection Division Web site provides a listing of all
properties that have entered the program and provides
information about how to access decision documents for
these properties. Lastly, the Georgia program utilizes
promulgated risk reduction standards that were subject to
public notice and public comment during development.
Public participation activities (hearing, meetings,
etc.): Georgia has instituted a statewide outreach
campaign to raise community awareness of the Brownfields
Program, to increase community involvement, and
encourage community participation in the federal
brownfields grant program. In future years, Response
Program Grant funds will be used to further expand real-
time public access to all site files and decision documents,
possibly through a Web-based filing system.
