| 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 energy use | Practices to reduce energy use may include limiting or eliminating idling of heavy equipment; maximizing use of machinery with advanced energy saving controls; use of cleaner fuels to power machinery and auxiliary equipment; onsite carbon sequestration (e.g., soil amendments, revegetation); reducing fuel consumption to save energy; and maximizing use of renewable energy. |
| 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). |
