To help enrollees navigate through complex brownfield
programs, The Mayor's Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) aims to provide
'one-stop' remediation services by working to coordinate remedial work performed
by enrollees under the New York City Local Brownfield Cleanup Program (LBCP)
with other City and State agencies. A green team of city experts will be
available to assist enrollees in various aspects of the remedial program.
To achieve the sustainability goals established in PlaNYC, OER will offer
enrollees in the LBCP the opportunity to participate in our
paperless remediation pilot program by submitting electronic documents instead of paper and ink
documentation to conserve valuable resources. Meetings between OER and LBCP enrollees to
create approvable cleanup work plans are critical to achieving prompt cleanup of
city properties. OER is working to reduce the environmental and societal 'costs'
of this process by minimizing traffic-related carbon emissions and associated urban congestion
through conducting meetings via video- and tele-conferencing.
