Quality Assurance Guidance for Conducting Brownfields Site Assessments
Executive Summary Many sites across the nation once used for industrial and commercial purposes are now abandoned or under-used. Some of these sites — often referred to as “Brownfields”— are contaminated; others are perceived or suspected to be contaminated. In 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative to empower States, Tribes, ...

Financing brownfields: EPA state program highlights
Public financing is often essential for encouraging the assessment and cleanup of brownfields. Without public financing or government-backed financial incentives, many brownfields would remain idle and potentially contaminated. The costs associated with the redevelopment of brownfields include costs associated with demolition, site preparation, and construction. In addition to these costs, ...

New perspectives in the use of horizontal wells for assessment and remediation
Abstract Remediation technologies can sometimes be established, but are not prevalent, for a variety of reasons; however, they can be subject to the forces of change. In some cases, creative economics promotes newuses, but also process improvements can drive newapplications and levels of acceptance. This is what is happening with the deployment of horizontal wells for site assessment and ...

Comparisons of different risk-based approaches for managing contaminated sites
Over recent years, an increasing public and private concern has arisen over soil contamination following the closure of former industrialised sites or due to publicity over certain "scandals" (Love Canal in the United States) which occurred on former redeveloped industrial sites, affecting human health. Subsequently most countries have started a register of all industrial contaminated ...

Experimental design of diffusion and desorption of contaminant in heterogeneous media
Storage of contaminants in low permeability media (LPM) presents a great challenge for prediction of remediation effectiveness and efficiency. The reason lies in the contaminants' complex behaviors within heterogeneous media. Both interparticle and intraparticle diffusion contribute to the difficulty of precise site assessment. Sorption of contaminants – especially within LPM – may sequester the ...

A tiered assessment framework to evaluate human health risk of contaminated sediment
For sediment contaminated with bioaccumulative pollutants (e.g., PCBs and organochorine pesticides), human consumption of seafood that have bioaccumulated sediment‐derived contaminants is a well‐established exposure pathway. Historically, regulation and management of this bioaccumulation pathway has focused on site‐specific risk assessment. The state of California (USA) is supporting the ...
