DEFINING SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY IN REMEDIATION DESIGN: NOT AN "AND" VERSUS "OR" PROPOSITION
Warner, C.D. and C.J. Ritchie. | CRC Care International Cleanup Conference, 8-12 September, Adelaide, Australia, 31 slides, 2019

Remediation designs that consider both sustainability and resiliency (but not, to the extent practicable, at the expense of each concept) are discussed in this presentation. Decisions on priority will always be important and limiting the risks to sensitive receptors will need to take precedence. Both performance and economic vitality of the remedial design will be improved greatly over historical approaches when both sustainable and resilient design are considered to be mutually beneficial and not competitive. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4uf8osk9zecvndg/M25a.pdf?dl=0
