Environmental remediation approaches can vary widely for different projects. Based on several factors (potential contaminants, exposure pathways, lithology at the Site, neighboring properties, project stakeholder risk tolerances, timing goals, etc.), there are numerous remediation alternatives to explore. Does the Site require active remediation such as excavation and off-Site disposal or [...]
There are many available different ways to obtain closure for environmentally impacted Sites. One of the quickest and proven methods, albeit perceived to be an expensive option, is thermal remediation. Electric Resistance Heating (ERH) is a method of remediation that was used at a Site in central Indiana in an [...]
When completing remediation projects for contaminated sites, there are many factors that come into play. The type of contaminants and the corresponding concentrations, site characteristics, implementation feasibility, timeframe, overall goal of remediation, and cost all contribute to design of a remedy. Site-specific characteristics that are also taken into consideration include [...]
Chemical reduction and oxidation are common remediation technologies used for a variety of contaminants in soil and groundwater. Pilot studies play a vital role in providing information necessary for full-scale remediation. This webinar will detail a case study of the remediation process from pilot test to full-scale design and implementation [...]
Remediation of soil and groundwater, and more generally, re-use of Brownfields, has come a long way over the last 40 years since the introduction of the various State and Federal cleanup programs. Cleanups have gone from excavating soil and pumping & treating groundwater, to advanced in-situ chemical, biological, and mechanical/electrical [...]
The range of land use in the United States is extensive, varying from agricultural land use to heavy industrial use. Not only do environmental considerations arise when redeveloping a Brownfields site, they must also be taken into account in nearly all redevelopment scenarios whether it is agricultural to residential or [...]
Molds are naturally occurring in the environment and are found almost everywhere, including indoors. However, at high concentrations, molds can affect the health of humans, especially immunocompromised or hypersensitive individuals. Exposure to molds, and the mycotoxins they produce, can lead to adverse health effects, such as fungal infections, rash, fever, [...]
Mold has been a known indoor air quality concern since at least 1994, and a lot has been learned about mold in the years since. However, to date, there are still no federal regulations governing mold. A few states (New York, New Jersey, Texas, and Maryland) and municipalities (New York [...]

Intuitional Controls (ICs) are property or governmental controls that are used to manage risks and/or control potentially complete exposure pathways. Obtaining Site Closure through regulatory agencies doesn’t necessarily mean complete clean up to non-detect levels. As complete cleanup would be impracticable due to cost and timing limitations, using ICs is [...]
