Brownfields Information
The Muscogee (Creek) Nation Brownfields Program is dedicated to identifying, assessing, addressing/remediating these sites to improve the quality of life for tribal citizens and the health of the environment by removing these eyesores from the cultural landscape. Any Brownfields sites which have utilized Federal funding are required to maintain a public record. Currently no sites have been addressed or assessed using Federal funding. The list of sites below are MCN potential brownfields sites.
Definition:
With certain legal exclusions and additions, the term "brownfield site" means real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
Cleaning up and reinvesting in these properties protects the environment, reduces blight, and takes development pressures off greenspaces and working lands.
Definition Source
The Brownfields Site definition is found in Public Law 107-118 (H.R. 2869) - "Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act" signed into law January 11, 2002
*Public Law 107-118 (H.R. 2869): "Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act" – “The 2002 Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (the "Brownfields Law") codified many of the United States' Environmental Protection Agency or EPA practices, policies and guidance. The Brownfields Law expanded EPA's assistance by providing new tools for the public and private sectors to promote sustainable Brownfields cleanup and reuse.”

We are always looking for input and feedback from tribal members, stakeholders and the community. Do you know of some Brownfields in your community? Would you like more information regarding the MCN Brownfields Program? Contact the MCN Geospatial Department. Plan to attend one of the future MCN Brownfields events.
There will be a Brownfields Small Technical Assistance Workshop in spring 2020.
