| Abstract |
Across the country, EPA is working with communities to safely return Superfund sites to productive use consistent with protection of human health and the environment. Former landfills, abandoned hazardous waste dumps, and other contaminated properties throughout the United States, once thought to be of limited or no value, are being transformed into viable commercial and industrial developments, parks and other recreational facilities, and wildlife areas. Golf courses and driving ranges have been built on a number of the more than 300 former Superfund sites that are in use. These golfing facilities provide positive social, economic, and environmental outcomes for their communities. EPA's experience suggests that sites where the cleanup involves containing the wastes on site are often well suited for recreational uses such as a golf facility. For example, the on-site containment of wastes often requires vegetated cover systems that, with minor modifications, can be made highly compatible with golf facility use. This report provides techniques for ensuring that containment systems or waste treatment equipment can accommodate golf facilities, while ensuring that golf facility operations do not reduce the effectiveness of the remedy. The successful and safe use of a Superfund site for golf facilities requires careful planning, the involvement of the community and other interested parties, and appropriate design, construction, and post-construction operation and maintenance practices. |
