| The National Conference on Management and Treatment of Contaminated Sediment was held in Cincinnati, OH, May 13 to 14, 1997. This technology transfer meeting was held for 213 professionals from various EPA divisions and other organizations, including Environment Canada, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the National Research Council, academia, and the private sector, to disseminate information on how to manage and treat contaminated sediments. During the conference, 24 speakers presented various treatment options available for high- and low-end contaminated sites; future research needs, questions, and comments were addressed during an interactive panel discussion; and private vendors who have experience in the treatment of contaminated sediments were available for information at 23 vendor booths. |
