Green and Sustainable Remediation Progress

I'm headed to Minneapolis this week to attend the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council's (ITRC) spring meeting. As a member of the ITRC Green and Sustainable Remediation (GSR) team, I will be assisting with the completion of the draft GSR Technical Regulatory Guidance Document. An earlier team document, the GSR Overview Document, will be published in the near future. Both documents will provide a significant contribution to the further evolution of the GSR approach.

On a separate, yet related note, Cox-Colvin & Associates was recently profile in Green Business Quarterly. The article discussed the firm's industry-leading efforts in the realm of GSR. Click here to read the article.
