Remedy Protectiveness and Climate Resilience in Site Cleanups: Policies, Guidance and Implementation Tools As of November 8, 2021 A product of the Fall 2021 meeting of the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable (Google Doc web link: Information in this summary is current up to November 8, 2021)

The Conference is designed for and presented by scientists, engineers, regulators,
remediation site owners, constructors, and other environmental professionals
representing universities, government agencies, consultants, and R&D and service
firms from around the world. 

 

The program will reflect the growing body of knowledge about better ways to manage contaminated sediment systems.

The Sediments Conference series is a forum for sharing research results, practical

experiences, and opportunities associated with investigating, remediating, and

restoring the environmental and economic vitality of waterways. Managing these

aquatic systems requires complex actions that affect a diverse group of stakeholders

and touch a wide range of environmental, economic, political and social issues
