The most innovative aspect to Haag’s reclamation of the land had to be the bioremediation strategies he incorporated into its design. The process of bioremediation is the use of biological systems (typically bacteria, microalgae, and various forms of fungi) to remove environmental pollutants. Instead of simply cleaning out the industrial waste and moving it to another location (i.e. not really doing anything about it), Haag and his engineers decided to leave the waste onsite and have nature do its thing by degrading the pollutants organically over time.
