          Fact Sheets on  Specific Remedies and Other Key  Issues

                            May 2010 Update
The U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is identifying  opportunities  to advance green remediation
strategies across cleanup programs. As part of this effort, the Agency is benchmarking and documenting best
management  practices to  be included in decision-making toolkits available to  an expanding network of
practitioners.
EPA's Office of Superfund Remediation and  Technology
Innovation currently is working with the Agency's Office
of Brownfields and Land Revitalization and other cleanup
program offices to develop a series of
      quick-reference fact sheets describing
           best management practices
for frequently  used  cleanup remedies,  various  field
stages, and other aspects posing significant opportunities
to reduce the environmental "footprint" of site cleanup.
The practices can be used for investigative and response
actions at contaminated  sites under Superfund, corrective
action,  brownfield,  underground  storage  tank,  and
federal facility remediation programs.

Each fact sheet addresses a cleanup project's (1) energy
requirements,  (2)  air emissions, (3) impacts on water, (4)
impacts on  land and  ecosystems,  and  (5)  material
consumption and  waste generation.
