CLEAN Brownfields Loan Program

On September 29, 2000, Governor Gray Davis signed into law the "Cleanup
Loans and Environmental Assistance to Neighborhoods (CLEAN) Program"
establishing new financial incentives to encourage local government,
developers and private property owners to redevelop abandoned and
under-utilized urban properties in California.

The cleanup and sustainable reuse of brownfields can produce significant

environmental, economic and public health benefits. The CLEAN program
(SB 667, Sher)
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb_0651-0700/sb_667_bill_20000830_enrolled.html
marks another step in California's longstanding efforts to promote
economic vitality at these sites, while ensuring that the State's
environmental standards are met. The Program will make available $85
million from the General Fund for loans to investigate and clean sites.

The major program elements are described on the CLEAN program Fact
Sheet (PDF format).

In the coming weeks, more information about this new program will be
available on the DTSC website. If you have more questions about the
CLEAN program, or would like to sign up to receive email updates, please
send your name, company affiliation, and email address to
