| Reduce energy use and emissions | Practices to reduce energy use and emissions may include limiting or eliminating idling of heavy equipment; maximizing use of machinery with advanced emission controls; use of cleaner fuels to power machinery and auxiliary equipment; onsite carbon sequestration (e.g., soil amendments, revegetation); reducing fuel consumption to reduce air emissions; and maximizing use of renewable energy." |
| Reduce waste and manage materials sustainably | Practices to reduce water and manage materials sustainably may include minimizing consumption of virgin materials; minimizing waste generation; use of recycled products and local materials; beneficially reusing waste materials (e.g. concrete made with coal combustion products replacing a portion of cement); and segregating and reusing or recycling materials, products, and infrastructure (e.g. soil, construction and demolition debris, buildings)." |
| Sustainable land management practices | Sustainable land management practices capitalize on a "whole-site" approach that accelerates cleanup while returning a site to its natural conditions. Practices focus on opportunities to preserve natural land features, maintain open space, sequester carbon, enhance biodiversity, increase wildlife habitat, and minimize surface and subsurface disturbance. Sustainable land management practices at a brownfields site may include minimizing unnecessary soil and habitat disturbance or destruction; use of native species to support habitat; and onsite remediation approaches such as bioremediation and/or phytoremediation." |
