...in the beautiful Connecticut River Valley in Amherst, Massachusetts in June 2008 for the Triad National Conference and Training which will feature three full days of conference presentations, Triad training sessions, specialized workshops, an interactive tool room, field equipment demonstrations, exhibitor hall, poster sessions, and an array of networking opportunities. The Conference will include training sessions, platform sessions, and specialized workshops focused on implementation of new tools, approaches, and strategies for hazardous waste site characterization, site remediation, and site redevelopment. The conference also will feature new tools and techniques for sampling and monitoring related to real-time information, continuous monitoring, and long-term monitoring for site closure and stewardship. Best practices and lessons learned will be emphasized throughout the training sessions, platform sessions, and workshops.

A full range of stakeholders in environmental site characterization, monitoring, and planning will be represented at this event, including environmental consultants and contractors; federal, state, tribal, regional, county and local government officials; regulatory staff and contractors; private industry (e.g., petroleum, chemical, utility, manufacturing, mining, waste disposal); and academia. This one-of-a-kind event provides a unique opportunity for the full range of environmental professionals (e.g., hydrogeologists, engineers, soil scientists, chemists, biologists, environmental scientists, technicians, regulators) to interact with one another and learn from leading experts, researchers and practitioners in the field of environmental site characterization, monitoring, sampling and remediation, weaving together the Triad approach for improved decision making and site management.
