Brownfields Redevelopment Program Overview
The Tennessee Brownfields Redevelopment Program works with the public to assist in the re-use and revitalization of brownfields in Tennessee. Many properties in Tennessee previously used as gas stations, drycleaners, factories or properties and may have contamination from unknown sources qualify as brownfields.
Drycleaning
All drycleaners who are operating in the state of Tennessee must register with the Drycleaner Environmental Response Program, also known as DCERP. Active drycleaners and former drycleaners can also enter DCERP to help clean up property contaminated by drycleaning solvent.
