A NEW LOOK: BEST BROWNFIELDS CONFERENCE YET!

       This year's conference will showcase new approaches
that will make it a stronger and more meaningful experience
than ever! For the year that will lead us into the next
century, EPA and its co-sponsors have been listening to your
comments about the format, the sessions, and the speakers.
We are committed to making the event live up to its title:
Brownfields  99   Alliances for 21st Century Livability
Environmental Challenges and Solutions!

       Brownfields  99 will continue to provide fascinating
discussions, opportunities for critical networking, and a
forum that will help beginners to veterans make the deals
that will change the face of America. Participation has
grown from 500 attendees in Pittsburgh, PA in 1996, to over
2,000 attendees at Brownfields  98 in Los Angeles, CA. Not
only has our size increased, our program's content has grown
as well. Watch the Brownfields  99 Web Site for a more
