Abstract:

This presentation will describe DEC’s policies and goals on green and sustainable remediation. Green and sustainable remediation can be integrated throughout the remedial process to minimize the environmental footprint of cleanup actions. Sustainable practices and technologies will be promoted to provide the audience with simple and effective methods to apply at their own sites. Highlighted concepts will include familiarization of DEC policies: DER-31, CP-49 and CP-75, utilization of local resources, reuse of material, consolidation of site visits, the generation of on-site renewable energy, and reporting/tracking metrics with several site-specific case studies acting as real-world examples. A tutorial of green and sustainable remediation internal guidance will provide the audience with an external tool and additional resources to implement sustainable practices in their own work.
