| Selection and design of cleanup considered the site's vulnerabilities to extreme weather events and natural disasters | Vulnerability describes the degree to which natural, built, and human systems are at risk of exposure to impacts from extreme weather events and natural disasters. |
| Design of cleanup allowed for siting of weather-related and disaster-related resiliency measures in site reuse | The capacity of a system to maintain function in the face of stresses imposed by extreme weather events and natural disasters and to adapt the system to be better prepared for future related impacts. |
| 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). |
| Reduce water use and impacts to water sources | Practices to reduce water use and impacts to water sources may include minimizing water use and depletion of natural water resources; capturing, reclaiming, and storing water for reuse (e.g., recharge aquifer, drinking water irrigation); minimizing water demand for revegetation (e.g., native species); and employing stormwater best management practice (e.g., installing and maintaining silt fences and basins to capture sediment runoff along sloped areas; use of gravel roads, porous pavement, and separated permeable surfaces to maximize infiltration of rainwater into the soil). |
