environmental consultants, our ongoing obligation throughout each project’s lifecycle, from initial assessment and investigation through restoration and closeout, is to recommend and design innovative alternatives, approaches, and actions for site cleanup that embrace through their implementation the principles of sustainability. These principles reduce water, energy, and material consumption, promote long-term stewardship, and minimize the impact of designs and activities. Analysis and selection are based on the nature and extent of contaminants and other constituents, resulting in a “best-fit” approach that employs well-vetted technologies and accounts for cost and schedule constraints. Renewable energy sources are identified and implemented, while developing and monitoring solutions and systems to deliver energy and increase efficiency. These approaches include using recycled materials, choosing bio-friendly materials, and implementing practices that produce less waste or use less toxic chemicals.
