Need technical assistance with using the BMPs?
EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) is working with private and public partners to foster the use of best management practices (BMPs) for green remediation at contaminated sites throughout the United States by: documenting the state of BMPs, identifying opportunities for improvement, establishing a community of BMP practitioners, and developing mechanisms and tools to help site cleanup and reuse stakeholders make informed decisions about green cleanup strategies. Questions and comments may be forwarded to Carlos Pachon, Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation.
