Point of Contact and Profile Submission: Carlos Pachon () updated July 14, 2010
[site name, city, state]
Cleanup Objectives: [overview of site problem and remediation goals]
Green Remediation Strategy: [overview of green approach to site-specific cleanup]
▪ [BMP for energy reduction and substitution with renewable energy]
▪ [BMP for reducing air pollutants and GHG emissions]
▪ [BMP for water conservation and reduction of impacts to water resources]
▪ [BMP for materials management and waste reduction]
▪ [BMP for land management and ecosystems protection]
Results:
▪ [energy: such as kW savings due to process optimization, percent of energy demand met by renewable resources, and/or conversion to alternative vehicles]
▪ [air: such as estimated GHG and PM reductions due to electricity or petroleum fuel reductions, or reduced fugitive dust due to streamlined vehicle activity]
▪ [water: such as estimated gallons reclaimed for onsite use, re-injected, or diverted from POTW load]
▪ [materials & waste: such as estimated volumes of waste diverted from landfill due to onsite treatment, processing and routine material recycled, and debris reused]
▪ [land & eco: outcome of enhanced land/eco conservation and preservation efforts, and/or integration of BMPs across project stages to reduce land/eco disturbance (such as integrating an onsite renewable energy system for site investigation, remedy construction, remedy O&M, and site use/reuse]
▪ [cost reductions attributed to specific aspects of the GR strategy]
▪ [impacts of the GR strategy on cleanup duration or cleanup goals]
▪ [any implemented contractual or administrative mechanisms for GR activities, goal establishment, or outcome tracking]
▪ [any follow-on efforts to additionally gain efficiencies and protect environment]
Property End Use: [specific ongoing use or anticipated reuse]

Notes:
- The numbers of images can vary, based on image availability and scope of each profile
- Active tense is used to introduce aspects of the “Green Remediation Strategy” and “Results”
- Quantified results are preferred wherever suitable
