SURF Colorado State University Student Chapter

SURF CSU consists of students from a variety of disciplines who are interested in using sustainable remediation practices to solve environmental problems. The Sustainable Remediation Forum Student Chapter at CSU is the alpha student chapter of the SURF professional society (http://www.sustainableremediation.org/). SURF promotes the use of sustainable practices during implementation of remedial act

ion activities with the objective of balancing economic viability, conservation of natural resources and biodiversity, and the enhancement of the quality of life in surrounding communities. SURF’s primary objective is to provide a forum for various stakeholders in remediation — industry, government agencies, environmental groups, consultants, and academia — to collaborate, educate, advance, and develop consensus on the application of sustainability concepts throughout the lifecycle of remediation projects, from site investigation to closure. The SURF student chapter at CSU provides a link between students and remediation professionals, facilitating education and development in the remediation sciences and allowing students to make personal and professional contacts with future employers and co-workers.
