Brownfields are abandoned or underused industrial and commercial facilities available for re-use.  Expansion or redevelopment of such a facility may be complicated by real or perceived environmental contaminations.

Initial Brownfields Pilot Project (1996-2000)

In 1996, the Stockton Redevelopment Agency (Agency) was awarded a $200,000 Brownfields Redevelopment Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ,  

The main goal of this grant was to focus on efforts to revitalize properties that the Agency currently owned or was planning on acquiring in the area of Stockton's downtown waterfront.  The photo and map below show the Initial sixteen properties that were identified as being located on or near the shoreline of the Stockton Deep Water Channel. The Environmental Master Plan (EMP) summarizes all of the documents produced during the project and attempts to present the results in a manner more easily understood by developers, lenders, and the public at large.

The results of this brownfields program are twofold.  First, redevelopment efforts were accelerated, and secondly, the solid foundation of brownfields information will provide the building blocks to continue redevelopment of the Channel area..

Supplemental Brownfields Pilot Project (2001-2005)

A supplemental grant was issued to the Agency by the EPA in 2001. The purpose of the supplemental grant was to continue the work that had begun in the Pilot Project. The documents developed in the Supplemental Pilot Project, as described below, can be reviewed at the City of Stockton Redevelopment Department.

Primary Accomplishments:

• A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
• A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was planned for three properties but could not be carried out due to lack of site access on the privately-owned properties.
• A Risk Management Plan (RMP) to facilitate redevelopment of properties within the Waterfront area by providing information on the process involved in the development of contaminated properties to ensure compliance with the applicable requirements of the regulatory agencies that have authority over various environmental issues in Stockton.
• A Background Groundwater Quality Study of groundwater monitoring wells on the North and South shores
• Report of Known Environmental Conditions
