1 AN INTRODUCTION TO GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE REMEDIATION WHAT, WHO, WHY, AND HOW 1

2 WEBINAR PURPOSE To simplify and to provide an overview of Green and Sustainable Remedia8on (GSR) and offer answers to a number of commonly asked ques8ons: What is GSR? Who is doing GSR? Why do GSR? How can I implement GSR at my site? 2

3 GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE REMEDIATION (GSR) WORKGROUP This training was prepared coopera8vely by agency staff of the Federal Remedia8on Technology Roundtable (FRTR) GSR & Op8miza8on Workgroup The intended audience includes: managers, decision- makers, regulators, and scien8fic and engineering support staff Much of the content derives from the FRTR mee8ng in the Fall of 2014 ( 3

4 1. WHAT IS GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE REMEDIATION? 4

5 A BRIEF HISTORY OF GSR 1998 Life- cycle framework developed for remedia8on for the Ontario Ministry of the Environment 2006 Sustainable Remedia8on Forum (SURF) formed; SURF formally integrates sustainable principles, prac8ces, and metrics into remedia8on projects and works to foster SR on a na8onal and interna8onal basis 2007 Associa8on of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials (ASTSWMO) creates Green Cleanups Task Force which advocates for what are referred to as greener cleanups 2008 EPA first developed the Green Remedia+on Technical Primer and formed the EPA/State Greener Cleanup Working Groups 2011 Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (ITRC) publishes Green and Sustainable Remedia+on Technology Overview (GSR- 1) and GSR Technical/Regulatory Guidance (GSR- 2) 2013 American Society of Tes8ng and Materials (ASTM) publishes two standard guides: Greener Cleanups (E2893), Integra+ng Sustainable Objec+ves into Cleanup (E2876), a PDF- writable Technical Summary (E2893), and Best Management Table in Excel format 5

6 DIFFERENT NAMES Sustainability concepts have been incorporated into environmental remedia8on by different prac88oners Green Remedia8on (GR) Green and Sustainable Remedia8on (GSR) Green or Greener Cleanups Sustainable Remedia8on (SR) For the purposes of this training, different names across this spectrum will be presented under the general category as Green and Sustainable Remedia8on or GSR 6

7 DEFINITIONS There are many defini8ons for GSR, GR, SR used by different organiza8ons: Environmental Protec8on Agency American Society of Tes8ng and Materials Naval Facili8es Engineering Command Sustainable Remedia8on Forum Interstate Technology Regulatory Council For the purposes of this webinar, we will use the ITRC 2011 published defini8on of GSR: The site- specific employment of products, processes, technologies, and procedures that mi+gate contaminant risk to receptors [during cleanup ac+vi+es] while making decisions that are cognizant of balancing community goals, economic impacts, and environmental effects. 7.

8 2. WHO IS DOING GSR? 8

9 FEDERAL AND STATE PRACTITIONERS Federal Agencies: EPA Headquarters and Regions DOE Cross Programma8c Work Group Department of Defense (DoD)! US Army Corps of Engineers! Naval Facili8es Engineering Command! Air Force! Army State programs, for example: California Massachusees Minnesota 9

10 OTHER PRACTITIONERS Na8onal and Interna8onal SURF members include both na8onal and interna8onal chapters ITRC Numerous corpora8ons, such as Boeing, DuPont, Shell, Exxon, etc. Numerous cleanup consul8ng firms The presenta8on today will focus primarily on Federal Agencies 10

11 3. WHY DO GSR? 11

12 SUSTAINABILITY DRIVERS FOR FEDERAL AGENCIES Federal Execu8ve Orders (EOs) on incorpora8ng sustainability principles and prac8ces for all Federal Agencies: EO (March 19, 2015): Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, incorporated the following: EO (June 3, 1999): Greening the Government through Efficient Energy Management EO (October 5, 2009): Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance Strategic Sustainability Performance Plans (SSPPs) EO (November 1, 2013): Climate Change Adapta+on Agency- specific ac8ons (for example): DOE Order 436.1: Departmental Sustainability The Army Strategy for the Environment: Sustain the Mission, Secure the Future 12

13 GSR POLICY AND GUIDANCE DEVELOPED BY FEDERAL AGENCIES Department of Defense policy: Considera+on of GSR prac+ces in the Defense Environmental Restora+on Program (August 2009), updated in: Defense Environmental Restora+on Program Management Manual (March 9, 2012) US Navy: Guidance on Green Sustainable Remedia+on, UG ENV, Rev 1 (5 April 2012) USACE: Decision Framework for Incorpora+on of Green and Sustainable Prac+ces into Environmental Remedia+on Projects, (March 5, 2010), updated in: Detailed Approach for Performing Green and Sustainable Remedia+on (GSR) Evalua+ons in Army Environmental Remedia+on (August 2012) US Air Force adop8on of GSR approaches including Performance Based Contrac8ng DOE GSR contrac8ng policy for cleanups EPA: Encouraging Greener Cleanup Prac+ces through Use of ASTM Interna+onal' s Standard Guide for Greener Cleanups (December 2013) EPA Regions 1 to 10: Region- specific Green Remedia8on policies 13

14 GSR POLICY AND GUIDANCE DEVELOPED BY STATE, PUBLIC- PRIVATE, AND STANDARD- SETTING ORGANIZATIONS California Interim Advisory for Green Remedia+on (December 2009) Illinois Greener Cleanups Matrix (February 2008) Minnesota Green and Sustainable Remedia+on, Petroleum Remedia+on Program (August 2012) New York Policy for Green Remedia+on (August 2010) Oregon Green Remedia+on Policy Drae (June 2011) Wisconsin Green and Sustainable Remedia+on Manual (January 2012) ASTSWMO Incorpora+ng Green and Sustainable Remedia+on at Federal Facili+es (August 2010) ITRC A prac+cal GSR framework for Federal Agencies and States (November 2011) ASTM Standard Guide for Integra+ng Sustainable Objec+ves into Cleanup (E2876) (June 2013) Standard Guide for Greener Cleanups (E2893) (November 2013) 14

15 GSR IMPLEMENTATION HAS ITS BENEFITS Reduces energy consump8on Contributes toward mee8ng our greenhouse gas reduc8on goals Reduces toxic air emissions Reduces waste genera8on Conserves water and natural resources Reduces ecological impact Reflects good environmental stewardship Helps gain public acceptance and confidence building Demonstrates performance in achieving environmental sustainability goals Reduces costs 15

16 GSR BENEFITS OF THE TRIPLE- BOTTOM LINE: ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL GSR helps achieve remedy protec8veness with a lower environmental footprint GSR builds on exis8ng guidance to engage communi\es in decision making GSR has the poten8al for improved economic outcome from site clean and reuse 16

17 QUESTIONS? 17

18 4. HOW CAN I IMPLEMENT GSR AT MY SITE? 18

19 IDENTIFY THE GSR APPROACH Several overall approaches have been developed by prac88oners for implemen8ng GSR within environmental remedia8on projects The different overall approaches can be simplified to the following: Approach 1 involves iden8fying and implemen8ng common- sense GSR BMPs Approach 2 involves a quan8ta8ve assessment and evalua8on of GSR metrics associated with the footprint reduc8ons from the BMPs selected Using one Approach does not preclude using the other For example, ASTM Standard Guide, Standard Guide for Greener Cleanups (E2893) provides a framework to iden8fy and incorporate BMPs into site cleanup with the op8on to perform quan8ta8ve measurements of BMPs during the cleanup process For more insights see ASTM s 2014 webinar at hep:// in.org/conf/8o/gcsg_042514/ 19

20 APPROACH OVERVIEW Approach 1 Use of BMPs Approach 2 Footprint Quantitative Evaluation Description Time Commitment a Enhance the remedial project by incorporating sustainable methods this involves implementing BMPs 2-24 hrs A quantitative decision takes a holistic view of the remedy or a portion of the remedy. Using specially designed GSR software, this approach considers the project design, metric evaluation, and life- cycle cost in selecting the preferred alternative hrs - BMPs with footprint evaluation, hrs - BMPs with a full life cycle assessment (LCA) Cost b $1K $5K $10 - $15K When to Intervene Example Anytime during the cleanup or closure process Can be as simple as replacing diesel fuel with low- sulfur diesel or biodiesel blend for trucks and heavy equipment Most often during the Feasibility Study, Remedy Design, Construction, and Remedy Operation. Less likely in Investigations Using quantitative analysis to determine that the use of in situ remediation technique instead of pump and treat reduces energy requirements, GHGs, and enables achievement of cleanup metrics in a shorter amount of time with less cost a Information from C.F. Silver, D.R. Goldblum, and J.A. Simon, The Growing Impact of ASTM's New Standard Guide for Greener Cleanups, presented at the Third International Symposium on Bioremediation and Sustainable Environmental Technologies, Miami, FL, 20 May 2015, does not include GR implementation and documentation. b From the 2012 Army GSR Study - these costs will vary depending on the complexity of the site. 20

21 GSR OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE CERCLA REMEDIAL LIFE CYCLE An Example: the Navy Approach Op8miza8on reviews which are required by Navy policy are opportune 8mes to evaluate sustainability Remedy footprint analyses, including use of SiteWise TM during remedy evalua8on, are conducted to iden8fy poten8al areas for footprint reduc8on GSR opportuni8es are evaluated across the phases of the CERCLA remedial process and implemented where they make sense 21

22 GSR OFTEN STARTS WITH CONTRACT LANGUAGE Specify in the statement of work that the contractor commit to using a GSR approach during all phases of the project, with GSR implementa8on to the maximum extent feasible and prac8cal Require the contractor to prepare a characteriza8on, remedia8on, monitoring, or waste management plan that includes the GSR ac8vi8es to be implemented, with a report that documents the GSR ac8vi8es that were implemented Require the contractor to update and document to the project team the progress of GR implementa8on, allowing for project team input to the GR implementa8on process Incen8vize your federal and contractor team to use GSR prac8ces and measurable goals to achieve results and cost benefits: Count it, and it counts! 22
