A newly-released report shows more than 175 square miles of land are being recycled in 2001 with surprising results.
The ECS Land Reuse Report provides a "snapshot" of national and regional trends in the reuse of contaminated land through a media coverage review about these activities. ECS, Inc., one of the nation's leading providers of environmental insurance and the International Economic Development Council (IEDC), formed by the recent merger of the Council for Urban Economic Development and the American Economic Development Council, based in Washington, D.C., performed a media analysis of 317 newspaper and business journal articles published from July 2000 to May 2001 and collected from on-line sources.
