[CPEO Moderator <cpeo@cpeo.org>]

“Green Brownfields: Remediation for Successful Redevelopment - Innovative
Concepts,” will be held in Salt Lake City, March 19-23, 2000.   
The conference is sponsored by the United Engineering Foundation and 
co-sponsored by the U.S. EPA and UBA (Federal Environmental Agency of 
Germany).  More detailed information can be found on the UEF website

The conference is aimed at all-involved parties from current property
owners through administrative/governmental officials, consultants,
contractors, developers, lawyers, project managers and potential investors.

The conference will focus on

-- different aspects of remediation covering the range from environmental
laws up to field examples of abandoned and recycled industrial and military
sites (conversion)

-- bilateral exchange of experiences in the US and Germany focusing on the
re-use of derelict land

-- application of innovative approaches that reduce cost and time

The conference program will include main topics such as sustainable 
development principles, successful integration of remediation and 
redevelopment, liability management, proven technologies/innovative
concepts, application/research, voluntary clean-up, determination of
clean-up standards/quality, legal aspects, economic costs and financial
schemes especially innovative approaches (insurance), project structures
and management, resuse of mining/radioactive areas, risk management
protocols from regulatory perspectives.   Emphasis will be placed on case
studies.

The general concepts and related experience in the US and partly so in
Europe show major differences in reuse of contaminated property from
assessment and cleanup to development which use sophisticated techniques
and innovative cleanup strategies which take into account the economic
targets.  The basic idea of integrating remediation with development is the
handling of the contaminated area/volume and the preparation as a
construction site in one step.

An overview will be given of the development and standard of conditions
from the early 80s to the present with the need to develop economic
concepts to achieve environmental progress that improves quality of life
and attracts- the interest for new investments. 

The conference co-chairs are Dr. Herbert Klapperich (Germany) and Dr. Linda
Garczynski (US EPA).
