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.
