■ 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.
