Technical assistance is offered as a means for finding new opportunities for reducing the environmental footprint of remedies by advancing acceptance and implementation of green remediation BMPs. Site managers and other stakeholders may directly submit a general inquiry about green remediation strategies. Site-specific technical assistance also is available to Federal Superfund remedial project managers (RPMs).

Examples of Areas of General Interest

• Using renewable energy from solar, wind, and hydro sources to power energy-intensive treatment
• Developing waste-to-energy systems that enhance pollution prevention
• Coupling sustainable reuse with remediation designs, construction, and implementation
• Implementing and documenting other green remediation strategies to conserve water and other natural resources and foster environmental stewardship

Examples of Site-Specific Technical Assistance (Available to Superfund RPMs)

• Providing information about high-performance field techniques and technologies for site assessment and cleanup
• Evaluating renewable energy potential, technologies, financing, and partnerships
• Assessing potential applications and designs for waste-to-energy systems
• Identifying ways to integrate site reuse into remediation strategies
• Renewing and providing comments on project documents, such as requests for proposals, work plans, field sampling plans, and quality assurance plans
• Facilitating the consideration and use of green remediation
• Sharing technical information with non-technical audiences
• Providing easy access to resources, tools, recent news, and lessons learned

An RPM may submit a request directly to EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response.
