PHILADELPHA-- Decision-makers from government, private industry and academia will convene on February 10-11 to discuss the latest developments in green cleanup, reuse technologies and techniques at one of our nation’s first engineering schools, Drexel University.

The Green Cleanup Symposium: Integrating Green Approaches for Site Cleanup and Sustainable Reuse, hosted by Drexel in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will comprise an intensive, two-day series of moderated discussions highlighting topics including:

1. The ABC’s of sustainable reuse;
2. Cleaning up properties while applying green practices;
3. Cutting edge analysis tools for planning long-term cleanups, and
4. Ecological revitalization at contaminated properties.

In addition to meeting with federal, state and local environmental officials, participants will hear first-hand from those in the fields of cleanup, redevelopment, and design about their experiences, both the success stories and lessons-learned, on cleaning and revitalizing former contaminated properties while applying green principles.
