Success Stories – Renewable Energy on Contaminated Land
In 1993, EPA and U. S. Steel entered into a Consent Order for cleanup of the entire Fairless Works site. The property was divided into parcels based on selling or leasing potential, each with its own timetable for cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination. After the closure of most mill operations the site owner, U. S. Steel, demolished over 5 million square feet of old buildings. The site’s extensive physical infrastructure and access to road, rail, and a deep water port make the KIPC an attractive location for industrial tenants. In 2005, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania designated 1,259 acres of the site as one of 12 Keystone Opportunity Improvement Zones (KOIZ), to encourage the development of new industry in the area, which experienced the loss of over 5,000 jobs in the 1980s and 1990s. The KOIZ designation allows companies who move to the zone at the KIPC to apply for exemptions from certain state and local taxes through 2018.
