[CPEO-BIF] GREEN BROWNFIELDS II

[CPEO Moderator <cpeo@cpeo.org>]

GREEN BROWNFIELDS II
Dresden, Germany
June 15-19, 2003

The main focus of this meeting entitled "Green Brownfields II" will be
to concentrate on the interdisciplinary approach to the brownfield
development issue and the reuse of former industrial sites. Brownfield
remediation plays an important role in city development as well as for
the redevelopment of former mining sites and sites with industrial
and/or cultural heritage.

The interaction among all involved parties, such as owners and
investors, regarding the environmental liabilities, and the technical
partners in developing the strategies for the planning and cleaning up
of contaminated sites play an important role in the development. This
includes financing concepts, risk assessment, and risk sharing by
insurance companies, project managers, as well as local and governmental
authorities.

The rehabilitation of former mining sites are major areas of concern
with a lot of similarities in the states of Colorado (USA) and Saxony
(Germany). The conference will provide a platform at which
representatives of the mining industry and authorities, city development
agencies and partners, and EPA representatives can communicate and
discuss common projects and problems.

There will also be a review of the ongoing work of the U. S.-German
environmental treaty phase III "Brownfields." This work is sponsored by
BMBF (Germany) and the U. S. Environmental Protection Adminstration.

The Chairs of the Conference are Herbert Klapperich of the Freiberg
University of Mining and Technology, Germany; Volker Franzius, UBA,
Germany; Karl Alvarez, U.S. EPA; and Charles D. Shackelford, Colorado
State University.
