The Triad
approach to decision-making for hazardous waste sites offers a
technically defensible methodology for managing decision uncertainty
that leverages innovative characterization tools and strategies. The
Triad refers to three primary components, systematic planning, dynamic
work strategies, and real-time measurement systems.

The Road Map to Understanding
Innovative Technology Options for Brownfields Investigation and Cleanup,
Third Edition (EPA 542-B-01-001) describes the steps involved in
the characterization and cleanup of brownfields sites and connects those
steps with available resources. The Tool
Kit of Information Resources for Brownfields Investigation and Cleanup
accompanies the Road Map to Understanding Innovative Technology Options
for Brownfields Investigation and Cleanup. The organization of the Tool
Kit matches that of the Road Map.
Both documents are provided by the EPA Technology Innovation Office, and identify potential technology options available at each of the basic phases involved in the characterization and cleanup of brownfield sites.

Sustainable Redevelopment
-
The Sustainable Redevelopment of Brownfields
can be ecologically, economically, and socially sound. The nature,
context, and perspective of the challenges confronting brownfields
practitioners demand this new approach. By integrating the concepts
of sustainable development, community involvement, risk management,
and collaborative project teams with brownfields redevelopment,
brownfields redevelopers can avoid re-creating brownfields and continuing
their legacy.
Construction and Demolition Material
-
Construction and demolition material consists of the materials generated
during the construction, renovation, and demolition of buildings,
roads, and bridges. Reducing and recycling C&D material conserves
landfill space, reduces the environmental impact of producing new
materials, creates jobs, and can reduce overall building project
expenses through avoided purchase/disposal costs. Information on
recycling construction and demolition material is available at EPA's Construction and demolition (C&D) debris Web page.
