Also\, in recent years there have be en a number of changes in regulatory rules and guidance that allow risk-ba sed closures for Sites with residual contamination.  More importantly\, t here are now more  Sites in the public record that have been completely c losed\, been delisted\, or have received no further remediation certificat ions with residual contamination in place.\n\nThis presentation will provi de an overview of regulatory strategies and technical approaches currently available to take a Site to complete closure.  This presentation will al so provide a high level  benefit analysis of  the liability and costs as sociated with the continuation of routine O&\;M remedies vs closure of the Site with residual impact.  Finally\, complete Site closure will have a positive effect on the ESG (Environmental\, Social\, and Governance) pr ograms that many industries and organizations have recently implemented.\n Jessica Yeager\, P.E. -  Principal Engineer\, Geosyntec Consultants\, Inc .\n\n\n\nJessica Yeager\, PE\, LSP is a principal environmental engineer w ith more than 11 years of experience in strategic\, risk-based closures an d complex remedial design for legacy and Brownfield redevelopment sites.
