 INTRODUCTION
 A BROWNFIELD SITE(OR SIMPLY
A BROWNFIELD)
IS LAND PREVIOUSLY USED
FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES OR
SOME COMMERCIAL USES.
 THE LAND MAY BE CONTAMINATED
BY LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF
HAZARDOUS WASTE OR POLLUTION,
AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE
REUSED ONCE IT IS CLEANED UP.
 LAND THAT IS MORE SEVERELY
CONTAMINATED AND HAS HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF HAZARDOUS
WASTE OR POLLUTION, SUCH AS
A SUPERFUND SITE, DOES NOT FALL
UNDER THE BROWNFIELD
CLASSIFICATION.
 GENERALLY, BROWNFIELD SITES EXIST IN A CITY'S OR TOWN'S
INDUSTRIAL SECTION, ON LOCATIONS WITH
ABANDONED FACTORIES OR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, OR
OTHER PREVIOUSLY POLLUTING OPERATIONS.

 SMALL BROWN FIELDS ALSO MAY BE FOUND IN MANY OLDER

RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. FOR EXAMPLE, MANY DRY
CLEANING ESTABLISHMENTS OR GAS STATIONS PRODUCED
HIGH LEVELS OF SUBSURFACE CONTAMINANTS DURING PRIOR
OPERATIONS, AND THE LAND THEY OCCUPY MIGHT SIT IDLE FOR
DECADES AS A BROWNFIELD.

 TYPICAL CONTAMINANTS FOUND ON CONTAMINATED

BROWNFIELD LAND
INCLUDE HYDROCARBON SPILLAGES, SOLVENTS, PESTICIDES,
HEAVY METALS SUCH AS LEAD (E.G., PAINTS), TRIBUTYLTINS,
AND ASBESTOS.
R E D E V E L O P M E N T S T R AT E G I E S
INNOVATIVE REMEDIAL TECHNIQUES USED
AT DISTRESSED BROWN FIELDS IN RECENT
YEARS INCLUDE
 IN SITU THERMAL REMEDIATION,
 BIOREMEDIATION AND
 IN SITU OXIDATION.

 A NEWER TECHNOLOGY FOR

REMEDIATING BROWN FIELDS INVOLVES
AN IN SITU INJECTION OF AN IRON-
EMBEDDED ORGAN SILICA
MATERIAL THAT CREATES A PERMANENT
SOFT CURTAIN BARRIER UNDERGROUND.
 GROUNDWATER PASSES THROUGH THE
BARRIER, WHICH ABSORBS TOXINS AND
SOLVENTS WHILE THE IRON
DECHLORINATES THEM TO NON-TOXIC
PRODUCTS.
 OFTEN, THESE STRATEGIES ARE
USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH EACH
OTHER OR WITH OTHER REMEDIAL
STRATEGIES SUCH AS SOIL VAPOR
EXTRACTION.
 IN THIS PROCESS, VAPOR FROM THE
SOIL PHASE IS EXTRACTED FROM
SOILS AND TREATED, WHICH HAS THE
EFFECT OF REMOVING
CONTAMINANTS FROM THE SOILS
AND GROUNDWATER BENEATH A SITE.
 SOME BROWN FIELDS WITH HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION HAVE EVEN BEEN
CLEANED UP THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH CALLED PHYTOREMEDIATION,
WHICH USES DEEP-ROOTED PLANTS TO SOAK UP METALS IN SOILS INTO THE
PLANT STRUCTURE AS THE PLANT GROWS.
 AFTER THEY REACH MATURITY, THE PLANTS – WHICH NOW CONTAIN THE HEAVY
METAL CONTAMINANTS IN THEIR TISSUES – ARE REMOVED AND DISPOSED OF AS
HAZARDOUS WASTE.
 POST REDEVELOPMENT USES
 SOME STATE GOVERNMENTS RESTRICT DEVELOPMENT OF BROWNFIELD SITES TO
PARTICULAR USES IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO LEFTOVER CONTAMINANTS
ON-SITE AFTER THE CLEANUP IS COMPLETED;
 SUCH PROPERTIES ARE DEED-RESTRICTED IN THEIR FUTURE USAGE.
 SOME LEGALLY REQUIRE THAT SUCH AREAS ARE REUSED FOR HOUSING OR FOR
NEW COMMERCIAL USE IN ORDER NOT TO DESTROY FURTHER ARABLE LAND.
 THE REDEVELOPMENT OF BROWNFIELD SITES IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF NEW
URBANISM, WHILE SOME BROWN FIELDS ARE LEFT AS GREEN SPACES FOR
RECREATIONAL USES.
 IN THE PROCESS OF CLEANING CONTAMINATED BROWNFIELD SITES, SURPRISES
ARE SOMETIMES ENCOUNTERED, SUCH AS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN UNDERGROUND
STORAGE TANKS, BURIED DRUMS OR BURIED RAILROAD TANK CARS CONTAINING
WASTES.
 WHEN UNEXPECTED CIRCUMSTANCES ARISE, THE COST FOR CLEAN-UP INCREASES,
AND AS A RESULT, THE CLEANUP WORK MAY BE DELAYED OR STOPPED ENTIRELY.
 TO AVOID UNEXPECTED CONTAMINATION AND INCREASED COSTS, MANY
DEVELOPERS INSIST THAT A SITE BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED (VIA A PHASE II
SITE INVESTIGATION OR REMEDIAL INVESTIGATION) PRIOR TO COMMENCING
REMEDIAL CLEANUP ACTIVITIES.
 BARRIERS TO REDEVELOPMENT

 MANY CONTAMINATED BROWNFIELD SITES SIT UNUSED FOR DECADES

BECAUSE THE COST OF CLEANING THEM TO SAFE STANDARDS IS MORE
THAN THE LAND WOULD BE WORTH AFTER REDEVELOPMENT.

 HOWEVER, REDEVELOPMENT HAS BECOME MORE COMMON IN THE FIRST

DECADE OF THE 21ST CENTURY, AS DEVELOPABLE LAND GROWS LESS
AVAILABLE IN HIGHLY POPULATED AREAS, AND BROWN FIELDS CONTRIBUTE
TO ENVIRONMENTAL STIGMA WHICH CAN DELAY REDEVELOPMENT.

 ALSO, THE METHODS OF STUDYING CONTAMINATED LAND HAVE BECOME

MORE SOPHISTICATED AND ESTABLISHED.
 MANY FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO HELP
DEVELOPERS INTERESTED IN CLEANING UP BROWNFIELD SITES AND
RESTORING THEM TO PRACTICAL USES. SOME STATES AND LOCALITIES HAVE
SPENT CONSIDERABLE MONEY ASSESSING THE CONTAMINATION ON LOCAL
BROWNFIELD SITES, TO QUANTIFY THE CLEANUP COSTS IN AN EFFORT TO
MOVE THE REDEVELOPMENT PROCESS FORWARD.
Case study: jeedimetla industrial development area(IDA)

JEEDIMETLA IS A SUBURB OF HYDERABAD, INDIA,

LOCATED NORTH WEST OF THE CITY
THE DOWNTOWN FEATURES A NUMBER OF SMALL
AND LARGE INDUSTRIAL UNITS INCLUDING SOME OF
THE INDIA CARD-CARRYING ONES. THE INDUSTRIAL
AREA IS DIVIDED INTO SMALL LOCALITIES
FEATURING DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING BLOCKS.
HMT COLONY IS ONE GOOD EXAMPLE THAT
ILLUSTRATES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLACE.
IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES LOCATED IN THE REGION
ARE THOSE OF MACHINE
TOOLS, PHARMACEUTICALS, JEEDIMETLA IS OF THE LARGEST
ELECTRICS, TEXTILES AND CHEMICALS. INDUSTRIAL AREA WITH OVER 8000
IT SERVES AS THE MOST INDUSTRIALIZED AREAS IN INDUSTRIES .
HYDERABAD.[1] BUT AS THE HYDERABAD CITY GREW
WITH GREATER HYDERABAD, THERE ARE MANY
OTHER PLACES WHICH HAVE DENSE INDUSTRIES
BEYOND JEEDIMETLA.
AS THE CHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL
FORMING THE MAJOR PORTION OF THE
INDUSTRIES ,THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF A
FIRE OUTBURST OR ANY CHEMICAL LEAK.
THE AIR POLLUTION IN THIS AREA IS
ENORMOUS , WHICH INCLUDE
AUTOMOBILE EFFLUENTS AS WELL AS THE
CHEMICAL RELEASES FROM THE
INDUSTRIES DIRECTLY INTO THE AIR.
THE WATER USED IN THE INDUSTRIES AREA
ALSO CONTAMINATED ,WHICH NEED TO BE
TREATED BEFORE DISCHARGING INTO ANY
SOURCE.
AS A RESPONSE TO THIS A TREATMENT
PLANT HAS BEEN SET UP TO SUPERVISE AND
TO MONITOR THE DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES.
THE BUSINESS MODEL OF JEEDIMETLA EFFLUENT TREATMENT LIMITED IS
PREVENTION OF POLLUTION BY TREATING INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS
TO ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE NORMS AS A SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY WHILE MEETING THE EXPENDITURE FROM THE
CONTRIBUTIONS OF MEMBER INDUSTRIES WHO ARE ALSO THE
STAKE-HOLDERS IN THE COMPANY. JETL IS COMMITTED TO
CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY OF TREATED
EFFLUENTS THROUGH FOCUSSED APPROACH TO MEET
ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS. ADDITION OF THERMAL
SEPARATION SYSTEM - MULTIPLE EFFECT EVAPORATOR AND
SPRAY DRYING IS A STEP IN THIS DIRECTION.

INDIA'S FIRST COMBINED WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT [CWWTP] AT

JEDEMETLA INDUSTRIAL AREA HAS CHANGED THE INDUSTRIAL SCENE FOR
CHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LOCATED AT HYDERABAD.
THE AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO PREVENT AND CONTROL WATER
POLLUTION. INDUSTRIAL UNITS ARE FIRST ENCOURAGED TO TREAT THE
EFFLUENTS AT SOURCE BEFORE THEY ARE LET OUT INTO THE TREATMENT
PLANT. WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE DONE OUR BIT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
PROTECTION. WE SHALL BE HAPPY TO ASSIST YOU WITH OUR
EXPERIENCE IN:

PREVENTING WATER POLLUTION

CONTROLLING WATER POLLUTION
PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
INITIATING CO-OPERATIVE ACTION FOR POLLUTION CONTROL
PROMOTING PRODUCTIVITY & PROSPERITY WITHOUT POLLUTION
STRIVING TO CONSERVE WATER THROUGH RECYCLING & RE-USE
