Short description: EXTRACT: In 2006, a group of remediation professionals banded together to contribute to this same rethinking process for the remediation industry. They formed an organization that came to be known as the Sustainable Remediation Forum (SURF). The mission of SURF is to establish a framework that incorporates sustainable concepts throughout the remedial action process while continuing to provide long-term protection of human health and the environment and achieving public and regulatory acceptance. First and foremost, SURF’s vision of sustainable remediation always includes fulfilling obligations to remediate sites so that they are fully protective of human health and the environment. The mission of SURF is to establish a framework that incorporates sustainable concepts throughout the remedial action process while continuing to provide long-term protection of human health and the environment and achieving public and regulatory acceptance. In this document, sustainable remediation is broadly defined as a remedy or combination of remedies whose net benefit on human health and the environment is maximized through the judicious use of limited resources. To accomplish this, SURF embraces sustainable approaches to remediation that provide a net benefit to the environment.
