The sustainable remediation panel

David S. Woodward Remediation recently developed a Sustainable Remediation Panel in which leaders in the field have volunteered to provide their opinions on difficult subjects related to the topic of how to integrate sustainability principles into the remediation practice. The panel’s opinions are provided in a question-and-answer format, whereby selected experts provide an answer to a question. This issue’s question is provided below, followed by opinions from four experts in the remediation field. In developing numerical cleanup standards for site cleanups, including risk-based corrective actions, is it possible to incorporate social and economic metrics into the standards or do these need to be considered separately on a qualitative basis?
