Free Training Opportunity
 The Washington Department of Ecology and Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation in collaboration with the Center for Creative Land Recycling (CCLR) will guide current and new brownfields practitioners on how you can maximize the activities conducted under an EPA assessment grant to be better prepared to clean up or market the property to a developer. This webinar will present the tools to plan a comprehensive assessment scope of work that includes elements like site characterization, evaluation of cleanup alternatives, and planning for regulatory oversight. These are steps for building a path toward cleanup and can be conducted under the assessment phase. Wednesday, July 19, 11 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Pacific time.
For more information and to register, visit Building the Path: Maximizing Assessment in Preparation for Cleanup.
