Green and sustainable remediation is probably the hottest issue currently facing the remediation industry. There are many fascinating developments related to this subject and green and sustainable concepts are being embodied by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and many state regulatory agencies. In this rapidly evolving area, a myriad of organizations are working to establish green and sustainable remediation concepts and principles. Such organizations include ASTM, Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC), and the Sustainable Remediation Forum (SURF).
Bloomberg BNA invites you to join John A. Simon, Executive Vice President of WSP Environment & Energy, and a member of SURF and the ASTM task group, for a presentation about the current status of various green and sustainable remediation initiatives and insights on how these concepts will impact the cleanup of contaminated sites. This 90 minute presentation is designed to help you:

  • Understand the concepts of green and sustainable remediation.
  • Acquire information about current policies and protocols being developed by EPA, the states, and nongovernmental organizations such as ASTM, ITRC and SURF.
  • Learn how green and sustainable remediation is being applied by regulatory agencies despite the lack of specific regulation directing its incorporation into remediation projects.
  • Focus on specific case studies where green and sustainable remediation principles have been implemented.
