Current Practice of Green Remediation

Course Summary

The practice of considering all environmental effects of remedy implementation and incorporating options to maximize net environmental benefits of cleanup actions is known as green, or sustainable, remediation. Over the past ten years these remediation practices have evolved from a qualitative best management practice to a quantitative portion of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Process. Federal, state and local agencies now require that remedial alternatives be evaluated based on sustainable principles. In 2013, ASTM issued two guidance documents for Green/Sustainable Remediation; one was updated in 2016. This presentation will focus on the fundamentals of green remediation, GZA’s Green Remediation Program, a tiered approach to green remediation, and a case study of how to calculate green metrics.
