Remediation developed a Sustainable Remediation Panel in the Summer 2009 issue, which featured the Sustainable Remediation Forum White Paper. The panel is composed of leaders in the field of sustainable remediation who have volunteered to provide their opinions on difficult subjects related to the topic of how to integrate sustainability principles into the remediation practice. The panel's opinions are provided in a question‐and‐answer format, whereby selected experts provide an answer to a question. This issue's question is provided below, followed by opinions from five experts in the remediation field. What are the best methods of measuring the social and economic benefits of a sustainable remediation project? Are there ways to develop quantitative metrics or are qualitative metrics the best alternative for measuring the social and economic benefits of sustainable remediation? © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
