Given how many plants, fungi and bacteria have already been demonstrated to have excellent bioremediation properties, I think it would be highly irresponsible to release any engineered organisms unless you can categorically prove that they do any better than any natural strains.
-- And even then, your first course of action should be to publish your work so that your peers can try to poke holes in, and/or improve on your results. If you can really make grasses that are provably better at bioremediation than any naturally occurring organisms, then that is something the whole world deserves to know - and deserves a chance to scrutinize.
