US EPA
I.
Adaptive Management in Land Revitalization
Techniques of adaptive management, developed to deal with
uncertainty and change in ecosystem management, can be used
to advantage in long-term stewardship of contaminated sites.
Panelists: Jonathan
Z. Cannon, John
Pendergrass.
II.
Systems, Decision and Risk Analyses for Remediation Site Recycling
This session addresses use of tools and methods from engineering,
economics, decision theory, finance, enterprise modeling,
risk management, and systems analysis to the management of
portfolios of remediation sites. The aim of portfolio management
is adaptive learning for the discovery and maximization of
opportunities for reuse. Application to EPA's Superfund and
similar large-scale programs of remediation sites will be
discussed.
Panelists: Peter
Beling, Jim
Lambert, Mark
White, Igor
Linkov.
Keynote
Speaker: Marianne Lamont
Horinko, Assistant Administrator, Office of Solid Waste
and Emergency Response, US EPA
III.
Superfund Sites are Real Places
Designing the next evolution of the post-industrial landscape
requires more than a risk assessment. Integrating ecological
integrity and cultural values renews the site as a vital place
within its community.
Panelists: Julie
Bargmann,
Daniel Bluestone, Niall
Kirkwood.
IV.
Building Consensus for Reuse Planning: Cleaning up the Other
Mess
This panel examines how different communities have built broad
stakeholder and community consensus for reuse and how land-use
planning ties together the many threads of contaminated site
recovery.
Panelists: Bruce
Dotson, Frank
Dukes, Frances
Costanzi,
Penny Nigh.
V.
Practical Applications: The Law and Economics of Contaminated
Site Redevelopment
Distinguished practitioners reflect on their experience in
redeveloping sites in light of the research presented at the
conference.
Panelists: George
Overstreet (moderator), Michael
Hancox,
Jennifer Hernandez, Eleanor
White.
Dinner
Speaker: Tom Adams,
Office of Environmental Management, US Department of Energy

VI.
Benefits of Superfund Remediation and Reuse
This session focuses on activities conducted under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA),
and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
to clean up and reuse properties on which hazardous wastes
have been released. However, it turns the tables on the usual
conversation about Superfund and focuses on the benefits of
these actions, not the costs (about which much has already
been written). The presenters will discuss some of the emerging
findings from two EPA initiatives, the Superfund Benefits
Analysis (SBA), and a variety of studies of local economic
impacts at specific Superfund sites.
Panelists: David
Slutzky (moderator), Alex
Farrell, Michael
Hancox, Robin
Jenkins.
VII.
Remediation for Reuse
This session will highlight technical remediation approaches
to maximize the likelihood of successful reuse. Projects and
methodologies that demonstrate close integration of remediation
design and reuse planning will be shared, including technical
approaches to streamline remediation and minimize the time
before sites are available for productive reuse.
Panelists: Teresa
Culver, Dean Hargens,
Marwan Sadat.
