ITRC Green & Sustainable Remediation - February 14, 2012, 2:00PM-4:15PM
EST
Many state and federal agencies are just beginning to
assess and apply green and sustainable remediation into their regulatory
programs. This training provides background on Green and Sustainable
Remediation (GSR) concepts, a scalable and flexible framework and metrics, tools
and resources to conduct GSR evaluations on remedial projects. The training
is based on the ITRC's Technical & Regulatory Guidance Document: Green and
Sustainable Remediation: A Practical Framework (GSR-2, 2011) as well as ITRC's
Overview Document, Green and Sustainable Remediation: State of the Science and
Practice (GSR-1, 2011). Beyond basic GSR principles and definitions,
participants will learn the potential benefits of incorporating GSR into their
projects; when and how to incorporate GSR within a project's life cycle; and how
to perform a GSR evaluation using appropriate tools. In addition, a variety
of case studies will demonstrate the application of GSR and the results. The
training course provides an important primer for both organizations initiating
GSR programs as well as those organizations seeking to incorporate GSR
considerations into existing regulatory guidance. For more information and
