A brownfield is any former or current commercial or industrial site that is currently vacant or underutilized and on which there has been, or there is suspected to be, contamination from a discharge. Under the BDA approach, NJDEP works with selected communities affected by multiple brownfield sites to design and implement remediation and reuse plans for these properties simultaneously. In this way, remediation and reuse occur in a coordinated fashion that invites various stakeholders, including residents and community groups, owners of contaminated properties, potentially responsible parties, developers, and technical experts for the local government to participate in the BDA cleanup and revitalization approach.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS DynamicMapLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/ae54f6a6e87140aba675fe0412b8bc01_37</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) Bureau of GIS</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Brownfield Development Areas (Block and Lots) of New Jersey [New Jersey]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>New Jersey</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2024-01-31</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
