Re: [CPEO-BIF] USEPA Brownfields 2003 Workshops

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

I understand that our workshop announcement was sent by you to your
mailing list.  I just received news today that the BUILDING NUMBER HAS
BEEN CHANGED for the Los Angeles workshop location on the 16th.

The building number has just been changed from 911 to 915!

The correct address is now:

Los Angeles
October 16th   9:00 - 12:00
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Offices
915 Wilshire, (in downtown L.A.)
12th Floor Conference Room
Los Angeles, CA

Please call me if you have any questions.


Steven C. Linder, P.E.
EPA Region 9

San Francisco, CA  94105
