Remediation Focus Area

Background

The Remediation Focus Area (Rem FA) aims to provide a forum for industry discussion, training and resources related to the remediation of contaminated land.

Objectives and Focus

• To provide a forum for consultation on remediation practices, guidelines and regulation in order to provide greater consistency between member companies.
• To increase awareness and understanding of remediation techniques, methodologies and applications through seminars and training sessions.
• To act as a reference body for advice and consultation with regulatory authorities on remediation application and regulation.
• Identify and facilitate training and professional development related to contaminated land remediation – in support of ACLCA and the Professional Development Subcommittee. 

How you can join

The Rem FA aims to meet approximately 8 times a year, at approximately 6-week intervals. Membership of the FA is open to any individual who is associated with or employed by an ACLCA member company who has an interest in this topic.  The FA is not intended to be a marketing vehicle – rather, its output is intended to be available to, and to benefit, all member companies in the Association.
