The Environmental
Protection Commission was delegated the administration of the Brownfields Program
in Hillsborough County, effective June 15, 2004. EPC has participated as an
interested party in the Brownfields program to date and has the expertise and
resources to successfully administer the program within Hillsborough County. The
FDEP and EPC believe that authorizing the local program to negotiate Site
Rehabilitation Agreements and oversee the environmental cleanup of brownfields
will facilitate expansion of the program within the County. If you have questions
concerning the EPC’s Brownfields Program please call Mary Yeargan of the EPC at
813-627-2600, ext. 1303.
The
designation of Brownfield sites in unincorporated Hillsborough County and the
revolving loan fund continues to be implemented by the Planning and Growth
Management Department of the County Administrator’s office (Elaine Lund,
AICP - 813-276-8387).
The designation of
Brownfield sites in the City of Tampa remains with the City’s Office of
Environmental Coordination (Daniel Fahey, 813-348-1094).
