| Short description: |
Cleanup of hazardous waste sites can involve significant
consumption of gasoline, diesel, or other fuels by mobile and
stationary sources. Minimizing emission of air pollutants such
as greenhouse gases (GHGs) and particulate matter (PM) resulting
from cleanup activities, including those needing fossil or
alternative fuel, is a core element of green remediation
strategies. Efforts to reduce these emissions during site
investigation, remedial or corrective actions, and long-term
operation and maintenance (O&M) must meet regulatory
requirements under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and state air quality
standards as well as federal and state cleanup programs.
Deployment of green remediation BMPs can help reduce negative
impacts of cleanup activities on public health and the
environment
