Everyone Wants Clean Water
^ut p^^ XncT
We
e all agree that clean water is a
top national priority. What we can't seem
to agree on are which methods are most
reasonable and cost effective. And in
some cases we have strong doubts over
the realistic goals of remediation.
.! This first-time event is bringing togeth-
er, the major players who will help shape
the future of ground water remediation.
This forum will provide the opportunity
i wi iiup mi in mil n n i i in i i i nn i win i m n
for ground water scientists, engineers, reg-
1 ulators, lawyers, and environmental and
financial managers to identify the top
issues of management and science influ-
encing the effectiveness of ground water
remediation at the state and federal levels.
It will take a cooperative team to solve
the nation's ground water remediation
problem, and this forum is one step
toward reaching that goal.
1 Short, factual presentations given by
weJUknown authorities will serve as cata-
lysts for discussions about the ground
water problems facing the nation.
This is not a traditional technical meet-
ing where you just sit and listen, but
rather a true forum designed to induce dis-
cussion by providing ample time for you
to share your own experiences and hear
those of others.

*The members of this panel will discuss their views on a variety of issues relating
to current legislation and regulation of environmental cleanup activities and pro-
posed changes to the laws governing such activities. Some the of the issues to be
addressed include: Should Congress make any significant changes to the Superfund
statute as part of the 1994 reauthorization process? Does existing law promote "low
risk" cleanup technologies? Does it encourage innovative technologies? Why are
lawyers always muddling with the cleanup process?

A Note on Discounts
NQWA secures blocks of rooms for the

However, most hotels have adopted a policy of
yield management, which means room rates

not guarantee the rates stated in this brochure
to be the lowest possible. We encourage you to
check with your travel agent to determine the
best hotel and airline for your needs, NQWA
neither recommends nor endorses a specific
hotel property or airline.

An income tax deduction is permitted for
educational expenses (registration fees, cost of

requirements of an employer imposed as a con-
dition to retention of employment, rate status,
or rate of compensation. Meals and beverages
may be deductible up to 80 percent.
Special Two-day Short Course Before the Forum I
Practical Environmental Compliance
January 31 - February 1
Radisson Hotel Denver
This two-day course will provide an overview of environmental decision making, fun-
damentals of enviromental compliance, and practical strategies and suggestions for improv-
ing one's ability to understand and comply with environmental regulations.
This seminar is designed to provide a practical background in environmental regulation,
with an applied emphasis in federal hazardous waste management. The seminar ends with
an application of course topics to an existing body of regulation: the hazardous waste
ground water monitoring and closure programs.
Most other courses of this genre provide regulatory details, but fall short in supplying a
basic understanding of environmental regulation and in suggesting effective strategies for
compliance. This course is designed to fill that void.
Course Fee: (Separate from Forum registration fee)
NQWA Member - $495
Non-Member - $595
