Contract Type FiledMarch 18th, 2021DTSC’s Local Agency Agreement is a voluntary agreement intended to encourage local agencies and municipalities to alleviate blight by obtaining Polanco-like protections for cleaning up environmental contamination. When the California Redevelopment Agencies were dissolved in 2012, local municipalities lost the expertise, resources and Polanco Act protections that were vital to facilitate redevelopment of contaminated properties. DTSC has developed the Local Agency Agreement in accordance with Assembly Bill 440, the Gatto Act, as a tool that any eligible agency can utilize to obtain immunities, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 25403.2, for cleanups conducted under DTSC oversight.
