Site Remediation Committee

2007-2008 Committee Chair:
Seth A. Davis

Message from the Chair

The Committee on Site Remediation deals with any and all legal, technical and scientific issues relating to remediation of contaminated property. We are concerned with cleanups or remediations under CERCLA, under state hazardous substance remediation programs, under RCRA corrective action, under Brownfields programs, or under anything else you might care to think of.

As in past years, the Committee will be presenting programs, either on our own or in cooperation with other committees, publishing newsletters, writing a section for the The Year in Review and keeping our members abreast of new legal developments. More importantly, what we do and what we get involved in is determined by our members. If you have an idea for a program, an article, or any other type of activity, please contact me or the appropriate Committee Vice Chair directly. If your practice or interests involve site remediation, please think about joining us and contributing your experience and points of view.

At the Fall Meeting in San Diego in October we cosponsored two different panels, and I and Jim Redwine, one of our Program Vice Chairs, were privileged to speak. We are a cosponsor for a program at the upcoming Annual Environmental Law Conference at Keystone, Colorado. We are working on other quick teleconference programs that we hope will be available to you shortly.

Finally, as a new service to our members, our Technology Vice Chair, Dave Johnson, has developed a map-based set of links to the web pages of each of the state environmental agencies that deal with site remediation. This streamlined version of the fabulous and well-known State and Regional Cooperation web page gives our members instant access to the relevant pages of information from each state. We hope you will find it useful.

I look forward to working with all of you in the coming year.
