and all possible steps are taken to minimize the taking of buildings that are not structurally
substandard.
Subd. 2. Uncontaminated property in environmental contamination remediation areas;
feasible alternatives. In taking property to remediate environmental contamination, a condemning
authority must not take uncontaminated parcels in the area unless there is no feasible alternative

parcels and all possible steps are taken to minimize the taking of the uncontaminated parcels.
Subd. 3. Contribution to condition by developer disallowed. If a developer involved in
the redevelopment of the project area contributed to the blight or environmental contamination
within the project area, the condition contributed to by the developer must not be used in the
