Forum Announcement and Call for Papers
For more information: Contact Joan Fisk at 703.603.8791

This forum will facilitate an open exchange of information and viewpoints
concerning cleanup of contaminated sediments. Panelists and participants
will discuss the key science and policy issues for making the most
appropriate site-specific risk management decisions that are consistent with
current federal laws and regulations.

Specifically, the forum will seek to accomplish the following objectives:

provide a forum for all stakeholders to express their opinions on EPA
program policies and guidance that address sediment remediation;
identify the key site information and data that should be collected and
evaluated in order to make informed site-specific cleanup decisions;
identify issues that need to be resolved, additional data that needs to be
gathered and evaluated, and research that needs to be performed; and
share information and lessons learned as a result of managing contaminated
sediment.
Speakers will be drawn from a wide range of constituencies, including
non-governmental organizations, academia, state government, and the federal
government. Panel discussions will promote a useful exchange of ideas and
viewpoints, and poster presentations will present a wide variety of
information on contaminated sediments and sites. Topics will include
community involvement issues and concerns, site characterization, effects on
human health and ecological resources, and remedy effectiveness
