Remediation Standards

Remediation standards are guidelines that specify the acceptable levels of contamination in soil, water, or air after cleanup efforts. They ensure that environmental hazards are reduced to safe levels, protecting public health and the environment. These standards are set by experts based on scientific research, and they establish criteria for when a site is considered safe for its intended use, whether residential, commercial, or industrial. Essentially, remediation standards guide the clean-up process to ensure environments are restored to levels deemed safe for people and ecosystems.
