| Short description: |
EPA's methodology for understanding and reducing a project's environmental footprint supplements the green remediation primer (EPA 542-R-08-002) by providing an approach to quantify energy, air, water, materials & waste, and land & ecosystem metrics that comprise the environmental footprint of a remedy. It also provides initial suggestions on how to reduce the footprint during the remedy selection, design, implementation, and operation phases. Members of the site cleanup community are invited to 'test drive' the methodology and submit any comments to the U.S. EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (by November 16, 2011).
