Geoenvironment Impact Mitigation and Management - Sustainable Practices in Geoenvironmental Engineering - page 400

Until the threats and problems of land environment contamination are successfully
managed and essentially rendered harmless, the road to sustainability will not be clear.
Although the treatment in this topic does not address the monumental problem of deple-
tion of nonrenewable resources, it nevertheless argues that the impacts from contamina-
tion of the land environment need to be mitigated and managed—as a very necessary step
toward the road to sustainability of the geoenvironment.
