Remediation Professionals - Treat Not Relocate Contamination

In this 59th episode, I discuss the topic Relocation aka "Dig/Vacuum and Haul" is NOT Remediation. The old traditional default thought to dealing with contaminated soil is to dig and haul it off to a waste disposal facility. Similarly, vacuuming up contaminated water and transporting it to a disposal facility. In both of these case, the contamination is only being relocated. It is NOT being remediated. In order to remediate the contamination, it has to be treated in order for it to be broken down and the contaminate(s) has to be acted upon by a means of changing its form from being hazardous to non-hazardous. Relocating the contamination is a quick and easy fix to be moved out of sight and out of mind. It is NOT Remediation. It's removal from the current location to another. In this case, it is stored at a waste disposal facility still in it's hazardous form, in theory to be dealt with at some future time. We CAN NOT keep doing this forever! We have natural resources that we require to live. It is in Everyone's best interest, to change our thought processes, from the quick easy fix of digging/vacuuming and hauling to a disposal facility as being the method of last resort, instead of being the default first choice. It is vital to our survival as a species. We must have the first thought to actually remediate the contamination and use waste disposal facilities as a method of last resort.
