Session G

Selecting Smart Remedies: Complement Engineered Solutions with Institutional Controls

This session will examine the factors that support the selection of a remedy, including cleanup criteria and related matters.

Session H

Financial Assurance for Corrective Action

In the absence of regulations, regions and states take a variety of approaches to financial assurance for corrective action. This session will examine, in particular, how Regions and States develop mechanisms for financial assurance for corrective action.

Session I
