Subject: New EPA Ecological Land Revitalization paper available!

I thought you'd be interested in EPA's new directive on Ecological
Revitalization of Contaminated Properties. This document is a product of
a collaborative effort across EPA OSWER's cleanup programs, including
OSRTI (Superfund), ORCR (RCRA), OBLR (Brownfields), FFRRO (Federal
Facilities), and OUST (storage tanks).

Check it out and stay tuned for www.clunin.org internet seminars on this
topic.

             EPA's cross-OSWER clean-up program directive on
     "Ecological Revitalization: Turning Contaminated Properties Into
                            Community Assets"
                          is available on-line!

Ecological Revitalization: Turning Contaminated Properties Into
Community Assets.
EPA 542-R-08-003. Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response.
U.S. EPA.  February 2009.

This document provides technical information to assist property managers
and other stakeholders better understand, coordinate, and conduct
ecological revitalization at contaminated properties during cleanup.
Specifically, this document presents general planning and process
considerations for ecological revitalization and provides technical
considerations for implementing ecological revitalization of wetlands,
streams, and terrestrial ecosystems during cleanup. This document also
highlights EPA's initiatives and resources that are available, and
presents numerous site-specific examples and case studies where
ecological revitalization has occurred.

An informational session is being developed for the remedial project
managers meeting (NARPM) in June 2009. Internet seminars are also in the
works.
