Based on literature research and personal communications, the report presents background
information on the concept of ecosystem services, as well as steps interested parties can take to
mitigate or avoid impacts to ecosystem services at a site level throughout the remediation
process. The report outlines replicable practices that remedial project managers can utilize when
attempting to mitigate adverse impacts on an ecosystem. This report also describes the current
state of data collection methods and issues pertinent to the ecosystem service assessment process,
with the ultimate aim of fostering production of a replicable methodology that can lead to
greener cleanups.
