Reduction of contaminant levels should not be the only consideration for soil or
water remediation. Innovative approaches are needed to perform the treatment in a
sustainable manner to reduce energy requirements and greenhouse gas emissions.
Waste generation reduction and resource protection are essential. Consultation with
stakeholders, which is essential for sustainability incorporation, should be
maintained across the entire project life cycle which includes the evaluation of the
contamination; development of alternatives; process design; and implementation,
operation, and decommission of the process.
