******************

On September 26-27, 1996, the Regional Forum on Military Base Cleanup 
Technology brought more than 300 participants to Millbrae California 
for two full days of talks and discussions. Sponsored by several 
agencies and organizations, the event was an outgrowth of the Hazardous 
Waste Generic Technologies Working Group of the Federal Advisory 
Committee to Demonstrate On-Site Innovative Technologies (DOIT).

The forum had two principal goals:

* Draw lessons learned from the forum experience to develop a 
model to recommend to the Department of Defense (DOD) for implementing 
a regional stakeholder approach in other areas of the country.

* Elicit a broad-based multi-state regional perspective on 
military base cleanup technology needs and concerns, leading to an 
action plan and communication of the plan's recommendations to national 
policy and funding decision-makers.
