PUTTING SITES TO WORK HOW SUPERFUND REDEVELOPMENT IN REGION 9 IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN COMMUNITIES EPA REGION 9 ECONOMIC PROFILE - DATA SUPPLEMENT (2023 DATA) California Nevada © Arizona -O Guam © Hawaii The cleanup and reuse of Superfund sites often restores value to site properties and surrounding communities negatively affected by contamination. Site redevelopment can revitalize local economies with jobs, new businesses, tax revenues and spending. EPA also works to ensure that existing businesses on properties being cleaned up under Superfund can continue operating in a way that protects human health and the environment, enabling these businesses to remain open and serve as a source of jobs and income for local communities. EPA tracks current and former Superfund sites in use across the country. Each year, EPA researches the beneficial effects of redevelopment and continued use of these sites. This profile looks at how EPA's effort to safely support long- term uses and facilitate redevelopment at Superfund sites makes a difference in communities across Region 9, including communities that experience environmental and economic burdens. It also provides the land values and property taxes associated with Superfund sites returned to use and sites remaining in use throughout the cleanup process. : Total number of sites in use per state. In Reuse Part or all of a site is being used in a new, different manner than before Superfund involvement. Or, the property was vacant and cleanup was designed to support a new, specific land use. In Continued Use Historical uses at a site remain active, and/or the site is still used in the same general manner as when the Superfund process started at the site.
