remediation of excavated material(s) Explanation: In this environmental context, "Sanierung" is mostly translated as "remediation" although "rehabilitation" or "clean-up" might fit the bill, too. See glossary entries for "Sanierung" - such as http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_german/environment_ecol... - and the following web sources: https://www.ec.gc.ca/etad/csmwg/pub/site_mem/en/c6_e.htm "For many contaminated sites, excavation and ex-situ <B>remediation of excavated material</B> are a necessity." http://www.scotash.com/environment.html "<B>Remediation of excavated materials</B> generally means they can be re-used as fill, avoiding the need to landfill." |
