Pennsylvania’s Land Recycling Program more commonly referred to as Act 2, allows the voluntary cleanup and reuse of contaminated industrial and commercial properties. The Land Recycling Program is based on a handful of principals that allow contaminated properties to be reused for new development purposes. Brickhouse Environmental of West Chester PA will be presenting an overview of the Act 2 process as it relates to the Land Development Process.
The following general topics will be discussed:

• Statewide Health vs Site Specific Standards: Is it OK to leave contamination in place?
• Engineering and Institutional Controls: Caps, vapor barriers, and other deed restrictions
• NPDES permitting at Act 2 Sites: General vs Individual Permits
• E&S Considerations: When is Silt Fence Insufficient?
• Post Construction BMPs: Will my infiltration bed cause contamination?
