2000 HAZARDOUS WASTE RESEARCH CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOPS  


The 15th annual Conference on Hazardous Waste Research will be held in
Denver, Colorado, May 23-25, 2000. The theme of the conference is
"Environmental Challenges and Solutions to Resource Development,
Production, and Use." This year's conference will focus on contaminant
measurement, remediation and containment, and multi-stakeholder
problem-solving methods. Significant portions of the program are devoted to
bioremediation,   
phytoremediation, analytical methods, and both passive and active
remediation technologies. The program also contains sessions and workshops
on reducing impacts of minerals and petroleum resource development, and on
disclosing environmental conditions in property transactions.

PHYTOREMEDIATION WORKSHOP OFFERED AS PART OF HSRC CONFERENCE  

*Phytoremediation: The State of the Science and Practice* is one of four
workshops offered at the 2000 Hazardous Waste Research Conference in
Denver. Phytoremediation involves the use of plants to clean up or reduce
the effects of a variety of contaminants in the environment. The goal 
of the 8-hour workshop is to give regulators, contractors, site
owners/managers, and citizens an understanding of current   capabilities
and limitations of phytoremediation in several common applications. The
workshop will be held on May 22, 2000, at the EPA Region 8 Conference
Center.  For more information, please visit the HSRC Conferences web site
