250 R.I. Code R. 250-RICR-140-30-2.5
The Brownfields Remediation and Economic Development Fund was created to encourage the reuse of brownfields throughout Rhode Island. Brownfields are vacant, abandoned, or underutilized industrial or commercial properties where expansion, redevelopment, or improvement is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination and liability. All projects, specifically the investigation, assessment, remediation and other activities at contaminated sites, shall be subject to the requirements of the Rules and Regulations for the Investigation and Remediation of Hazardous Material Releases (Remediation Regulations), Part 1 of this Subchapter. This Fund is meant to provide funding assistance for pre-development planning, remedial investigation, redevelopment and marketing plans, remedial design, construction of remedies, and associated work at the discretion of the Review Committee.
