GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE REMEDIATION BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

Abstract

Green and sustainable remediation (GSR) emphasizes and promotes the consideration of sustainability throughout the entire remedial process: site characterization, remedy selection, remedial design and construction, remedial action operations, and long-term monitoring. An important aspect of applying GSR is the use of best management practices (BMPs). The purpose of this technical memorandum is to succinctly summarize GSR BMPs for commonly used remediation technologies in order to further promote their adoption. The technologies covered include air sparging, biosparging, soil vapor extraction (SVE), enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD), in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO),thermal treatment, groundwater extraction and treatment (GWET), and excavation.
