PD Representative: Bob Boyette, City Manager PD Contact Name: Heather Cotton PD Company: City of Marion/McDowell County PD Address: PO Drawer 700 Marion, NC 28752 Email: hcotton@marionnc.org Phone No.: 828-652-3551 Fax No.: 828-652-1983 PD Website: www.marionnc.org Under the Brownfields Property Reuse Act, only entities that did not cause or contribute to the contamination at the property are eligible to enter the program. The applicant PD listed below have asserted that: 1) they have not caused or contributed to the contamination at the property, and 2) they have substantially complied with laws, regulations, and rules for the protection of the environment. If you have any information to suggest otherwise, please provide that information to me at joselyn.harriger@ncdenr.gov by September 21, 2016. A Brownfields Agreement (BFA) has no legal effect on your agency's authority to regulate or enforce against any and all parties who caused or contributed to the contamination at the property. In fact, the BFA will require the developer to provide access to the property to any party doing work under any DEQ program. A BFA provides liability protection only to a non-causative redeveloper of the property. The developer will be required to make the property safe for its intended re-use. Cleanup to unrestricted use standards will not be required unless deemed necessary based on the developer's proposed use of the property. Furthermore, the BFA will not change the developer's responsibility to obtain any and all DEQ permits (e.g. storm water, sediment control, NPDES, etc.) as required under applicable law. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
