	Environmental restoration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Environmental restoration is a term common in the citizens’ environmental movement.
		Environmental restoration is closely allied with (or perhaps sometimes used interchangeably with) ecological restoration or environmental remediation.
		Environmental restoration is often neglected, either being overlooked or being deemed inexpedient or of a low priority.

		Restoration of degraded ecosystems has been and continues to be a high priority throughout the Nation.
		Yet those involved in ecosystem restoration have had limited opportunity to interact with their colleagues at the national scale to discuss issues and challenges relevant to ecosystem restoration.
		The framework of restoration is built on the assessment and interpretation of performance measures as individual project components unfold.

	EPA: Federal Register: Environmental Restoration and Waste Management; Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement
		The Department attempted to meaningfully analyze the environmental restoration alternatives that it originally defined as part of the ``proposed action.'' After considerable effort, the Department has concluded that it would not be appropriate to make programmatic decisions regarding cleanup strategies that would be applicable to all of the Department's sites.
		Although the proposed action was defined in terms of integrating environmental restoration and waste management, the description of the alternatives in the Implementation Plan set forth separate sets of alternatives for environmental restoration and waste management.
		In view of this modification the PEIS would be renamed the ``Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement.'' The modified proposed action would focus on the evaluation and analysis of waste management issues confronting the Department and would incorporate potential impacts of environmental restoration on the management of wastes.

		Based on the environmental benefits of creating a functioning wetland on an inhabitable dredged island to provide valuable habitat for fisheries and wildlife, it is determined that the proposed modification's tangible and intangible benefits are far greater than the tangible and intangible costs.
		Environmental information on the project has been compiled and this Draft Environmental Assessment and Preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact has been prepared and will be circulated prior to the commencement of the project in accordance with requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as amended.
		The proposed restoration of diminishing sea grasses, mangroves, shallow water lagoon and reef areas is consistent with this chapter.

	Abstract from 1995 SRA Annual Meeting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Overlay the entire environmental restoration program with the requirement of public participation and the result is a program that appears mismanaged, not cost effective, and does not effectively use the available talent pool as it attempts to address each of the program requirements separately.
		The goal of a site-wide environmental restoration program is to provide consistency in the four main aspects of an environmental restoration program: technical, regulatory, closure, and communication.
		This presentation discusses the specific tasks that are being used in the implementation of a site-wide environmental restoration program and focus on successes in the areas of risk communication and risk assessment preparation.

	Appendix B Environmental Restoration Data
		The Environmental Restoration Report provides estimates of waste volumes for the cleanup of PRSs; some estimates for waste volumes to be generated by the decommissioning, including demolition, of structures; and some estimates for waste generation resulting from cleanup of canyon systems.
		For example, whereas waste volumes have been estimated for the decontamination of structures at the LAAO tract assuming commercial development subsequent to transfer of the tract, estimates have not been finalized (and are not presented in the Report) of wastes generated from the razing of these structures prior to residential development of the tract.
		For example, the Environmental Restoration Report analysis calculated the bounding waste produced from demolition of buildings associated with Records Center operations at the DP Road tract based on possible costs savings that could result from the demolition of the buildings rather than the remodeling necessary for building reuse after decommissioning.

	Environmental Restoration
		Environmental professionals seeking to effectively restore waste disposal sites can benefit from an understanding of successful approaches used for other wastes and at other sites in order to broaden the range of proven effective approaches available for consideration at sites of concern.
		A prime source of such transferable restoration technology is the mining sector where large volume, heavy metal-laden wastes present complex, multi-pollutant problems where governmental and owner-operator roles are poorly defined and affected communities are actively involved in the restoration policy and design proceedings.
		As a result, the identification of effective innovations which are transferable among environmental restoration projects requires a clear understanding of the administrative, public policy and technical aspects for both the innovative demonstration setting and the potential transfer site.
