Abstract
|
Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP). DoD spent $2.2 billion on DERP in FY 2010. Tremendous opportunity to make an impact through sustainable remediation decisions and practices. Green remediation is the practice of considering all environmental effects of remedy implementation and incorporating options to maximize the net environmental benefit of cleanup actions. DoD Green Remediation Policy Overview: Evaluates current and future remedial activities, Encourages the DoD Components to consider green and sustainable remediation options when and where they make sense, Will not re- open Records of Decisions or other decisions and agreements that may already be in place or under negotiation, and Supports the Department's ongoing efforts to implement Executive Orders 13423 and 13514 and reduce our overall energy demand. Sustainability is not an excuse to do nothing.
