Abstract: Site Remediation ProgramProgram GoalsThe goal of the program is to provide fair, comprehensive and consistent regulation of the investigation and remediation of hazardous waste, hazardous material and petroleum releases, implemented in a timely and cost-effective manner. The State program is designed to determine if a site poses a threat to human health and the environment and efficiently determine a remedy that is effective but not overly burdensome to the parties involved. This program also supports the redevelopment and reuse of contaminated sites through the Brownfields program. Sites are identified, evaluated, cleaned up and brought back to beneficial reuse in Rhode Island communities.Program PurposeTo regulate and provide technical oversight for the investigation and remediation of releases of hazardous waste or hazardous material to the environment; to ensure that those investigations and remedial activities are conducted in a consistent manner that adequately protects human health and the environment; and to enforce regulations regarding the proper disposal of abandoned hazardous waste.Program ObjectivesTo support the reuse and redevelopment of contaminated sites through the Brownfields program;To provide a protective, efficient and cost-effective program as an alternative to the federal process and the stigma associated with it;To encourage voluntary responses to contamination discovered on properties within the State;To characterize and evaluate the impacts from releases of hazardous material to the environment;To determine whether remedial action is warranted under the program;To require and oversee the implementation of remedial actions designed to minimize, or eliminate, the impacts from releases of hazardous materials; andTo effectively track the progress and report the level of effort expended completing tasks under this program.

Purpose: Vector Point data delineating the location of sites previously or currently under investigation by the RI Department of Environmental Management Office of Land Revitalization and Sustainable Materials Management - Site Remediation Program. Nothing should be inferred about the environmental condition or suitability of a mapped location for any purpose because of its inclusion in these data. https://dem.ri.gov/environmental-protection-bureau/land-revitalization-and-sustainable-materials-management/state-4 LAST UPDATE October 19, 2022
