Brownfields Property Reuse Act
Annual Report to the General Assembly
October 2013
Executive Summary
This report to the General Assembly is required by the Brownfields Property Reuse Act (BPRA) of 1997 (G.S. 130-310.30 et seq.) and describes the activities and status of the Division of Waste Management’s Brownfields Program (Program) for the period from Oct. 1, 2012 through Sept. 30, 2013 [Federal Fiscal Year 2013]. The N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is pleased to report continued success in the state’s efforts to revitalize and safely reuse brownfields properties through the Division of Waste Management’s Brownfields Program and its partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Program Output
For the annual reporting period, the Program produced 41 brownfields agreements, exceeding its highest annual output of brownfields agreements since inception. This gain in productivity is attributable to the Program’s efforts to streamline the processing of agreements, relying more heavily on an increasingly experienced project management staff in the agreement drafting and negotiation process, thereby allowing reduced involvement of NC DOJ attorneys during agreement negotiation. At the conclusion of this year’s reporting period, the total number of completed agreements since program inception is 271.
For the reporting period from Oct. 1, 2012- Sept. 30, 2013 the tracked measures include:
- Program applications received: 66
- Brownfields agreements finalized: 41
- Acres of Brownfields Finalized: 1121
- Estimated committed capital investment for projects entering program: $1.06 billion
Since the program began, all of the public dollars spent are either federal funds from a cooperative agreement with the EPA or from program fee receipts (The Division of Waste Management receives no state-appropriated funds for the program). With these funds, the program has facilitated $8.3 billion in estimated private investment in brownfields redevelopments for projects.
Outreach to Local Governments
Working in partnership with local governments and Councils of Government (COG) towards redevelopment projects has led to continued success for those local governments applying for and winning competitive brownfields grants offered by the EPA for the assessment and cleanup of brownfields properties. The successes below show a general recognition that North Carolina not only has significant brownfields redevelopment needs, but that there is a system in place in which an active community of local governments is working in partnership with the state to effectively address brownfields redevelopment. Five North Carolina local governments were awarded a total of $2.0 million in U.S. EPA brownfields grants in 2013, including Anson
1
County, the City of Greenville, Piedmont Triad Regional Council, the Town of Robbins, and the City of Wilson.
Program Background
Redevelopment of brownfields properties has become increasingly popular as developers and local governments realize that these properties offer viable opportunities to bring economic growth, public health protection, jobs and quality-of-life benefits to cities and rural areas. Brownfields are abandoned, idled or underused properties where environmental contamination hinders redevelopment due to concerns about environmental liability. The BPRA gives the Division of Waste Management the authority to enter into brownfields agreements with prospective developers who did not cause or contribute to site contamination. The BPRA modifies the environmental liability barrier for prospective developers and motivates them to bring these properties and their hindrances to the Division of Waste Management’s attention. The Division of Waste Management partners with the prospective developer to evaluate the possible risks associated with site contamination, and then negotiates a brownfields agreement stipulating the steps necessary to make the site safe for a specific intended reuse. The result is a redevelopment project that fuels economic growth while protecting public health and the environment.
Since brownfields agreements afford prospective developers liability protection for as long as they make and maintain the site safely for its intended reuse, the specter of open-ended financial uncertainty is lifted. This economic shield allows prospective developers to obtain financing previously unavailable for these properties.
Thus, the BPRA allows the Division of Waste Management to distinguish between prospective developers of brownfields properties and the properties’ polluters. Instead of mandating that the site be cleaned to current standards, the BPRA requires developers who did not cause or contribute to the contamination to make the site safe for a specifically identified reuse. The program must examine the risks to public health and the environment posed by the site. Then, DENR determines what the prospective developer must do to ensure safe redevelopment. These actions can range from land-use restrictions to cleanup, or a mixture of both. In addition to holding prospective developers accountable to their agreements, DENR reserves the right to enforce against those parties responsible for the original contamination.
The ancillary brownfields property tax incentive for prospective developers allows them to recoup funds spent on assessment and cleanup. The program motivates the market to recycle these sites to productive reuse, while preserving or reducing the use of pristine or undeveloped “greenfields” property. While the environmental benefits are obvious, most redevelopments also create a significant number of jobs and put properties back on the tax rolls. This dual economic-environmental gain benefits the state, local government, and the brownfields developer. In the years since the BPRA was enacted, and as these benefits have become better known, the program’s popularity and demand for its services have increased dramatically.
The overall result is a winning scenario for the environment and for economic development. Risk reductions and cleanups are achieved at sites that could have harmed the public or the environment, and prospective developers redevelop abandoned properties that once had little hope for productive reuse. The public benefits of job creation, improved quality of life in the 2
surrounding neighborhoods, local tax base expansion and contribution to the general fund are other positive impacts. By the end of federal fiscal year 2013 (FFY 2013), an estimated $8.3 billion in capital investment will have been committed to redevelop abandoned properties that afflict urban and rural landscapes.
The program also supports smart growth and sustainability. Every project that reuses property, whether it is in an urban center or a rural area, preserves green space. Often it also reduces suburban sprawl and supports sustainable urban development. The 270 properties that have received completed agreements are estimated to represent 3,844 acres. This is, in effect, acreage that is being recycled into reuse, sparing more pristine lands from development and risk for future contamination.
Figure 1 (below) summarizes the steps involved in obtaining a brownfields agreement.
Figure 1. Summary of the Brownfield Process
Step 1 – A prospective developer (PD) submits a Brownfields Property Application to the Division of Waste Management outlining a brownfields site it desires to buy or sell for the purposes of redevelopment, and for which it needs liability protection. The Division of Waste Management determines if the PD, the subject property and the proposed redevelopment project are eligible under the BPRA statute. PD pays initial $2,000 fee at the time its project is deemed eligible by the Division of Waste Management.
Step 2 – The Division of Waste Management reviews existing site data to determine the risk posed by contamination at the site. If the data are insufficient to evaluate such risk, the Division of Waste Management advises the PD on further site assessment to gather the necessary data.
Step 3 – The Division of Waste Management determines what actions are necessary to make the site suitable for the PD’s intended reuse and includes these actions in a draft brownfields agreement. The PD and the Division of Waste Management negotiate the provisions of the draft brownfields agreement and other required statutory documents.
Step 4 – A public notice of the brownfields agreement is published, with a 30-day public comment period.
Step 5 - The brownfields agreement is finalized after any public comments are considered and incorporated. Prior to the execution of the finalized brownfields agreement, the PD pays the secondary fee negotiated in the agreement, and the agreement is executed and recorded at the County Register of Deeds.
Step 6 -The PD completes any site safemaking actions required under the agreement, thereby triggering the agreement’s liability protections in the form of a covenant not-to-sue. The liability protection allows the flow of lender financing that facilitates redevelopment.
Step 7 – Upon completion of the brownfields property improvements, the property owner is eligible for the brownfields property tax incentive, which reduces its property taxes for a five-year period.

Program Status
During FFY 2013, the program received 64 applications for projects seeking entry into the program. This compares favorably to the 52 applications received in FFY 2013 and continues a general increasing trend from the recessionary depths of 2008 and 2009. During FFY 2013, the program completed 41 brownfields agreements. Table 2 below shows the trends in some program measurables over the last several years.
The program is preparing to receive its ninth year of funding from the EPA under its State Response Program Cooperative Agreement, authorized under the federal brownfields act. This federal funding provides a total of 9.17 full-time equivalents (FTEs) to the Division of Waste Management, with 8.67 positions currently filled, seven FTEs to the Brownfields Program and 1.67 FTEs to the Inactive Hazardous Sites Program. For the Brownfields Program, this federal grant funds a core of three project managers in Raleigh and three regionally located project managers: one each in Asheville, Charlotte, and Wilmington. In recent years, the U. S. EPA has decreased this type of funding for all states, including North Carolina. The Program has been able to respond to these federal funding cuts by increasing fee funding in order to maintain capacity. In fact, this year the Program was able to hire a temporary technical staff position in addition to maintaining its 11 permanent FTEs. Fee funding now supports five positions and
U. S. EPA federal grant funds support the remaining positions.

Outreach and Education
Prospective Developers and Lenders
Participation in the program by prospective developers is voluntary and is largely market-driven in that prospective developers bring their redevelopment projects to the program in order to break liability barriers for financing. One of the goals of the program is to educate the development community, lenders and local governments regarding the program’s existence and usefulness as a tool for private and public redevelopment stakeholders. Efforts to increase awareness of the program continue to bring new redevelopment opportunities and their attendant public benefits into the program. By every measure, the program has been successful in its mission of becoming an effective liability protection tool that can be relied upon by lenders in making project financing decisions, thereby facilitating financing of redevelopment projects on environmentally impacted property. These measures include the increasing number of applicants into the program and the frequency with which lenders are requiring brownfields agreements as part of lending decisions. Lender trust in the program can be seen in cases such as a brownfields agreement completed this year with a major bank as the prospective developer, facilitating the development of a bank branch on abandoned property.
Local Governments
One of the other measures for this effort is the Program’s outreach efforts that support local governments as they apply for competitive U.S. EPA brownfields grants. These grants can provide local government with funds for further facilitating redevelopment of brownfields properties.
Local governments in this state continue to have great success in competing for EPA brownfields grant funds to local governments. The U.S. EPA awarded approximately $62 million in competitive brownfields grants to local governments in FFY 2013 (down from $70 million in FFY 2012). Of the $62 million in grants awarded nationally, North Carolina local governments were awarded $2 million (up from $1.6 million in FFY 2012).
The 2013 grantees were Anson County ($400,000), City of Greenville ($400,000), Piedmont Triad Regional Council ($600,000), Town of Robbins ($400,000), and the City of Wilson ($200,000). Brownfields Program staff met with these local governments at the Regional Grantee Meeting at EPA Region 4 headquarters in Atlanta Sept. 4-5, 2013 in order to continue to support their efforts as they use these grant funds towards brownfields redevelopments in their local areas. After these grants are awarded by the U.S. EPA, the Program works with the local government grantees to educate their local brownfields stakeholders such has lenders, real estate professionals, businesses and developers about the ways in which a brownfields agreement can define their environmental liability and facilitate their redevelopment. While such a grant is not necessary to gain a brownfields agreement under the program, it does provide a source of funding for assessment and/or cleanup for the local stakeholders. This can help kick start projects that are within the jurisdiction of the awardee. The Division of Waste Management’s Brownfields Program will also work with the grantees as they develop plans for utilizing the grants, review sampling and analysis plans, and work directly with any local prospective developers who need brownfields agreements to facilitate their redevelopment projects.
6
Table 1 shows the brownfields grants awarded to local governments in North Carolina since program inception. These grants have been used to assess and remediate numerous brownfields projects across the state. The U.S. EPA brownfields grant program has truly had statewide reach as 41 local government entities have been awarded 70 separate grants. These grants range in value from $200,000 for assessment, cleanup, and job training grants to $1,000,000 for revolving loan fund grants. Funds awarded can be used for various aspects of brownfields redevelopment depending on the type of grant awarded.
The outcomes of local brownfields activities are impressive. They serve to strengthen overall interest in brownfields redevelopment statewide and spark interest from developers seeking brownfields agreements from the Division of Waste Management. These grant funds dovetail with the DENR’s efforts to support brownfields redevelopment, because the EPA continues to strongly recommend to these grantees that they seek entry into the Division of Waste Management’s Brownfields Program to best use their grant funds. In this way, DENR’s efforts are truly in coordination with those of EPA at the federal level and with government redevelopment teams at the local level.

Site Summaries and Inventory
For brief descriptions and status of all brownfields projects in the program as of Sept. 30, 2013, please see the Appendix, beginning on page A-1. It contains information on those projects completed this year, those projects completed since program inception, and those projects that are actively undergoing work towards a brownfields agreement. Some definitions when referring to the tables include:
Finalized brownfields agreements are those projects that have a signed and recorded brownfields agreement (or have completed the public notice phase of the brownfields process and are waiting for the completed agreement to be signed). As of Sept. 30, 2013, the program has finalized a cumulative total of 270 brownfields agreements across the state, 27 of which were completed in the one-year period from Oct. 1, 2012 to Sept. 30, 2013.
Active eligible projects have been deemed eligible for a brownfields agreement under BPRA statutory criteria. These developers represent projects in-progress, working with the Division of Waste Management in some stage of data gathering, analysis or agreement negotiation. As of Sept. 30, 2013, there were 136 active projects. Projects at this stage receive guidance from the Division of Waste Management as the developers gather the additional data needed to ensure protection of public health and the environment. Once research is complete, the Division of Waste Management analyzes the data, drafts and negotiates the terms of the brownfields agreement with the prospective developer, and approves initiation of the statutory 30-day public comment period.
Projects pending eligibility are in the initial stage of the brownfields process as they apply for entry into the program. Sites in this category have yet to meet the requirements under the statute for eligibility for a brownfields agreement. For sites in this category, the program has requested clarification or additional information from prospective developers regarding a site. Normally, developers respond to these requests for clarification, the sites are deemed eligible, and sites then quickly move into the active eligible category. As of Sept. 30, 2013, 20 sites were in this category.
Improving Effectiveness
Program Productivity Increases
The chart below shows a measure of the program’s productivity normalized to the number of technical/legal staff that are producing agreements. The result shows a sharp increase in the program’s productivity for this year. This is attributed to fully implementing measures to increase productivity, including heavier reliance on ever-more experienced project managers with increasing capabilities to negotiate agreements using/modifying language from previously established templates, without DOJ attorney involvement previously utilized. In fact, of the 41 agreements completed by the program this year, only seven needed significant DOJ attorney involvement in negotiation. The ability of the staff to fully negotiate these agreements to completion independent of DOJ attorney involvement streamlines the process as the DOJ 9
attorney is no longer in the critical path for all agreements. It also reduces the program’s attorney costs (consequently the program now funds just 0.35 attorney FTE, instead of 1.0 FTE).
Leveraging Resources into Private Sector Investment
Another measure the program tracks is committed private investment facilitated by brownfields agreements. The cumulative total private investment facilitated by the program from its inception now stands at over $8.3 billion, with $1.06 billion of that being added by projects entering the program this year. Generally, these investments would not have been made in brownfields redevelopment areas and often not made at all without the liability relief afforded by a brownfields agreement. Throughout its existence, the Brownfields Program has provided a high economic development value for the federal funds it uses, and it uses no state funds. Furthermore, the high ratio to which the federal funds have been successfully leveraged into private development dollars for brownfields redevelopment is just one measure of the effectiveness of the BPRA. The economic activity and increased tax base generated by construction of these brownfields projects exceed the public funds expended by many orders of magnitude.
Responding to Continuing Federal Funding Cuts

the 128(a) State Response Program Grant has been declining over the last several years. Table 2 below shows the history of the U.S. EPA grant funding to the Brownfields Program. Portions of the total grant goes to both the Brownfields Program and the Inactive Hazardous Sites Program.
Table 2. Funding from U.S .EPA State Response Program Grant
In total, over this five-year period, there has been a decline in federal funding to the North Carolina Brownfields Program of more than 40 percent. In order to maintain program capacity despite these funding cuts, and also to meet the statutory requirements of recovering all state costs from the prospective developers, the program increased its fees. In 2007, the program instituted an across-the-board fee increase from $2,000 to $5,500 reflecting the true cost of project managers that were federally subsidized through the program’s EPA grant.
The program continues to develop the popular Redevelopment Now program option whereby a developer can pay a higher fee and have access to a nearly dedicated project manager and immediate attorney services. This enables a developer to bypass any site queue and reduces the time to completion of a brownfields agreement. Since these particular project managers are without federal subsidy, the fee was a significantly higher $30,000 as opposed to the normal $8,000 fee. This program option has been a success, and the Redevelopment Now pilot has become a program option available to all. It has been a popular choice by developers of high-value projects where the cost of carrying financing for the normal queue process far exceeds the fee for a separate project manager. Twelve agreements were finalized under this program this year. In this way, the program has quickened the pace on many such Redevelopment Now projects, reducing the time in the process from the typical 18 months to as little as five-to-six months. In May 2012, the program instituted its second across-the-board fee increase from $5,500 to $8,000 per site. As the program’s funding has shifted from federal grants to fee receipts, so have the staff FTEs. Today the program stands at seven federally-funded FTEs and five fee-funded FTEs.
Continuing to Develop Innovative Products
The Program has observed that in certain situations there may be an entity owning a brownfields property that, for various reasons, is unable to establish eligibility for a brownfields agreement under the BPRA. Sometimes, the safe redevelopment of these properties would provide a significant public benefit to the local community. To assist in the redevelopment process and to advance the realization of potential public benefits at these types of properties, the Program has developed and implemented a concept it calls “Ready-for-Reuse Brownfields Agreements.” These agreements are essentially brownfields agreements developed in advance of

having an identified future prospective developer. The agreement includes all of the safety elements the Division of Waste Management deems necessary (based on data obtained and actions taken voluntarily by the ineligible property owner) but has no entry indicated on the application for the name and signature of a future prospective developer. Such a “Ready-for-Reuse” agreement is expected to prove very useful in marketing the property to potential prospective developers who might be interested in purchasing the property for redevelopment when they know their liability will be limited to the items in the agreement. Two such Ready-for-Reuse Brownfields Agreements have been completed thus far, and one has already facilitated a pending property transfer for a redevelopment project. Two other agreements of this type are in progress. [Note: These agreements are not included in the 41 completed agreements for this year, and won’t be included on the completed list until they are signed by a prospective developer.]
Fund Status
The program receives no state appropriation and exists through two funding sources: federal cooperative agreement funds and fee receipts. All of the brownfields fees charged by the program go into the Brownfields Property Reuse Act Implementation Account as authorized under the statute. While the majority of program funding still comes from the federal cooperative agreement, the fee funds are used by the program to supplement the federal cooperative agreement funds and do play a key role in the program’s capacity to produce brownfields agreements.
For the state fiscal reporting year from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 the Brownfields Property Reuse Act Implementation Account had a beginning balance of $363,472, receipts from fees and interest of $659,317, and disbursements of $386,124. This yields an ending fund balance of $636,665. Table 3 below shows the fund status for the last 5 years.

The increase in the balance this year is due to a number of factors, including reduced attorney expenditures through the Program’s agreement processing reforms, higher revenue from increased program productivity, and the continued success of the Redevelopment Now program option. The Program implemented these changes in order to stabilize its funding in the face of cuts in federal funds and then increase its funding in order to hire the appropriate capacity to meet increased program demand. Achieving program goals in this regard will now allow the hiring of two additional technical positions in 2014 to meet the increasing demand for the program’s services. However, if there are deeper than anticipated federal cuts in brownfields 12
cooperative agreement funds, the program’s federally funded positions may also be reduced. Therefore, the goal of increased program capacity, though now achievable, is not yet assured.
Continued fund stability in the future requires a consistent level of interest by developers in the program and relatively flat federal funding. Through the successful implementation of various fee increases and options, the Program stabilized its resources last year, increased them this year, and now plans an increase in program capacity to meet demand.
