EMS assisted EPA's Superfund program with the production of its Fiscal Year 2007 Annual Report. This report, which is available on EPA's website, highlights some of the many accomplishments of EPA's Superfund remedial, removal, enforcement, and federal facilities programs during FY 2007.
Green Remediation: Incorporating Sustainable Environmental Practices into Remediation of Contaminated Sites
On behalf of EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response and in collaboration with various Regional Offices, EMS researched and wrote this technical primer to highlight innovative and practical approaches for decreasing the environmental "footprint" of cleanup activities at hazardous waste sites and brownfields. The primer identifies best management practices for increasing sustainability throughout site investigations, remediation, and reuse, with new emphasis on reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during cleanup activities. The primer also provides strategies for integrating renewable resources, such as wind and solar energy, into site cleanup and redevelopment.
