Sustainable remediation

To meet existing remediation cleanup targets with a softer environmental touch, green remediation practices provide an alternative to traditional “pump and treat” and “dig and haul” strategies. Green remediation integrates environmental stewardship, economic viability and social responsibility in remediation activities.
Brown and Caldwell is working with the U.S. Air Force at more than 30 sites using the Environmental Restoration Program Optimization (ERP-O) approach for evaluating existing remediation alternatives to improve their effectiveness, reduce a site’s clean-up costs and improve efficiency – all without increasing risks. At another Superfund site in New York, the EPA has selected the remedy and has required Brown and Caldwell to evaluate green remediation alternatives as part of the plan.
