*MDE has not developed a Brownfields list because of the stigma that may be attached to the sites included on such a list. However, some local jurisdictions and municipalities have compiled information on underutilized properties. Baltimore City, for example, has developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) inventory of vacant and underutilized industrial and commercial sites. This GIS inventory provides site-specific information on more than 1,000 properties citywide with special emphasis on properties within the Empowerment Zone. For information about the Baltimore City GIS inventory, please contact the Baltimore City Department of Planning at 410-396-8356. For other jurisdictions, contact the local environmental health or economic development office.

Other under utilized sites are also listed on the Maryland Smart Sites and Governor's Office for Smart Growth web sites.  Each of these sights has a search engine to provide one-stop shopping for information on public properties and financial incentives. For public entities, it offers a new venue to promote properties for redevelopment

MDE is required to maintain a list of potential hazardous waste sites in the State. This list is known as the "State Master List." It includes properties known by the State to be contaminated or potentially contaminated and includes sites on the federal CERCLIS list. We also know that there are many sites that probably will qualify as brownfields that are not on the State Master List. Although the only list MDE maintains is the State Master List, it should not be considered a list of brownfields. For more information about the list, please call MDE at 410-537-3493.
