Brownfields Program
A brownfield can be defined as any currently unused piece of property, where based on its past land use history, the community perceives that it contains some form of contamination rendering it unusable. Common examples of brownfields sites on the Yurok Reservation include former mill sites, abandoned gas stations, illegal dumpsites and abandoned mining sites.
Over the last three years, the Polutions Prevention Division (PPD) has worked to inventory all potential brownfields sites, prioritize inventoried sites and assess sites deemed to be a high priority.
