Research notes

Parallel federal CERCLA (42 USC §9601 et seq.) and EPA Brownfields Program (42 USC §9628) liability protections — state and federal NFA letters routinely sought together. Pairs naturally with Local Development Act TIF (§62-850) for redevelopment financing — OKC Innovation District, Tulsa downtown post-industrial sites, Bartlesville Phillips legacy parcels are typical use cases.
