Post Industry_Post Land Contamination
Traditional ways dealing with clean-up of industrial sites have been to dig up the existing contamination and haul it to a hazardous waste dump or entomb it in place with an asphalt or concrete cap. We can go beyond this traditional method with the combination of plants and bioremedite methods that simultaneoulsy restore and renew habitats.
