Description
Environmental case closure is often the ultimate goal of all environmental consulting and contracting firms. (Cases can include initial assessments, risk assessment, remediation, soil and groundwater pollution assessment, environmental compliance audits, project management, and emergency response.) This handbook will examine the technical, hitorical, legal, and policy background to regulatory requirements, and provide new models and recommended best practices for the assessment, remediation, sustainable development, and reuse of brownfields and other contaminated sites. Dozens of international site closure case studies will be provided.
