2. REMEDIATION
Removal of pollution and contaminants from environmental
media, such as
SOIL, GROUNDWATER, SEDIMENT,
SURFACE WATER
FOR
General protection of human health and the environment or from a
brownfield site intended for redevelopment.
GREEN RESTORATION
3. BACKGROUND
PLANNING PROCESS:
1. Identify Problems and specify objectives
2. Design, Study and compile an inventory of conditions and resources
3. Analyze data and formulate plans and policies
4. Evaluate alternative plans and policies and select the best alternative
5. Implement the plan or policy and continuously monitor the implementation
Urban dwellers are continuously surrounded by messages that land
and resources elsewhere are somehow
UNRELATED TO URBAN ACTIVITIES
4. Urban Ecology
=
Human activity
Built Environment
Nature
Contradictory Action
5. ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING
(Based on Hazardous Waste Planning)
1. Hazardous waste management planning
2. Site correction and remediation
3. Emergency response and hazard management
4. Citizen participation planning
6. REMEDIATION
Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial and
commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is
complicated by real or perceived environmental contaminations.
Land/field that is previously used for industrial purposes of certain
commercial uses that maybe contaminated by low concentrations of
hazardous wate or pollution and has the potential to be reused once
it cleaned up
GREEN RESTORATION
10. Treatment and/or containment of waste to reduce
exposure to contamination
Stormwater capture and water recycling to re-use
and conserve resources
Installation of new wetlands to reduce flood
levels, provide habitat, irrigation, aesthetics, restore
creek catchment function
Restoration of a quot;naturalquot; creek line for Haslams
Creek from a concrete stormwater channel plus
removal of in-channel quot;chokesquot; to manage
stormwater flows, reduce flooding, provide habitat
and improve aesthetics
Monitoring and conservation plan development for
key species or communities,
Green building guidelines, which considered the
entire life cycle of materials, waste management and
use of energy.
GREEN RESTORATION
15. The Newton Creek has a legacy
of over a century of industrial use.
It is where a 55-acre, 17 million
gallon oil spill (one of the largest
in U.S. history) happened.
More than 2.7 billion gallons of
raw sewage are pumped and
discharged into the creek each
year.
All of the creeks 1.5 square miles
of tidal wetlands have been lost.
