Recommendation SW13: Identify funding to address priority closed and abandoned landfills.

Develop cost estimates for the highest priority sites, and identify funding options to pay for the needed corrective action. Specific steps include:

• Conduct an evaluation of the existing state grant programs to identify potential funding options.
• Review the potential of other public funding options (for example, new revenue sources, Brownfields programs, existing grant funds, local revenue options, etc.) and public-private partnerships.
• Develop mechanisms for government to partner with developers and property owners to clean up old landfill sites and use them for community benefit.

Milestone SW P: Cost estimates for addressing highest-priority closed and abandoned cleanup sites are developed, along with a list of funding options.
