Standard Guide for Integrating Sustainable Objectives into
Cleanup (E2876 − 13)
■ May 1, 2013: ASTM publishes new standard to address sustainable
aspects (environmental, economic and social) within cleanup
projects.
■ Best Management Practice (BMP)—for the purposes of this guide,
an activity that, under most situations, improves one or more
sustainable aspects (environmental, social, economic) of a cleanup
at a specific site.
■ For simplicity the term cleanup is used in the guide when referring to
any of the cleanup phases, for example site assessment, remedy
selection, remedy design and implementation, remedy optimization,
operation, maintenance and monitoring, and closure.

BREAK-OUT SESSION
■ Each group will have a series of core elements and associated
BMPs
■ Answer and discuss the following (10 min).
■ For each BMP:
■ How could we go about quantifying the substantial benefits over the course of
the project?
■ Are there any potential negative impact (in other core elements for example) or
challenges to implementation ?
■ General discussion:
■ Are potential benefits greater than the efforts required to overcome challenges
and / or control negative side effects?
■ Each team presents the results of the general discussion using BMP
examples to support (10 min).
