With green space lands at a premium and communities looking for options to meet their recreational needs, some cleaned up Superfund sites are presenting a unique opportunity for development of soccer fields. EPA's Superfund Redevelopment Initiative (SRI), the U.S. Soccer Foundation and communities are working at Superfund sites to turn this opportunity into a reality. This webinar will share the stories of several Superfund sites from around the country that have been successfully redeveloped into soccer fields and how this transformation was accomplished. The U.S. Soccer Foundation, which has supported the reuse of Superfund sites as soccer fields across the Country, will share information on the webinar about resources available to communities looking to develop soccer fields. EPA will conclude the webinar by sharing tools and resources available to communities to think about future use of sites, including use as soccer fields, in the context of cleanup and long-term safety.
