Foreword
The purpose of this document is to summarize the activities of organizations that are
involved in supporting the development and transfer of innovative environmental
technology through such activities as barrier reduction, economic development, and
marketing. We welcome your comments on and updates of this directory and its
summaries. We see the directory as an important first step in compiling information
about these organizations, which we are calling environmental business councils.

INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advocates the development and
use of innovative treatment technologies for remediation and corrective action
related to hazardous waste. To that end, the Technology Innovation Office (TIO) of
EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OS WER) has collected
information about organizations that, as their primary function, contribute to economic
development and marketing of these technologies. For this report, we are calling the
organizations "environmental business councils." On the following pages, that
information is presented as individual summaries for each council. The summaries
include the following information:
• Name and address (electronic mail and Internet/World Wide Web addresses are
included when available), including a principal contact person
• Profiles of the council, including such information as time in existence, type of
council, membership, major goals and objectives, types of achievements to date, and
major efforts planned for next year
• Functions, such as barrier reduction, research and development, economic
development, and development of U.S. and international markets
• Phase of technology development and transfer, such as feasibility
analysis/technology information exchange, technology transfer/engineering
assistance, adaptation/prototyping, and commercialization/startup assistance (when
applicable)
The organizations are presented in alphabetical order as a means of indexing them for
ease of reference.
The information in this report was obtained through a variety of approaches. TIO
collected information that included, in some cases, printed materials sent to TIO by the
individual councils. Additional information was collected from World Wide Web sites
on the Internet, in cases in which councils provided an Internet or World Wide Web
address. The summaries presented in this report are not intended to be all-inclusive for
each individual business council, and the report may not include all such organizations
that exist. In some cases, certain information was not available; each summary provides
all available information. This draft report represents a first step in learning about these
organizations.

Profile of business council: The CEBC is a nonprofit
trade and business association that promotes and assists
California's environmental technology and services
industry at the state, national, and international levels.
Founded in 1994, the CEBC currently has more than 100
member companies and other organizations throughout
the state that represent all segments of the environmental
industry. Those members are technology developers and
manufacturers, engineers and consultants, laboratory
professionals, and financiers. The goal of the CEBC is to
advance "rational environmental protection" that balances
the need for a cleaner environment with the need for a
healthy business climate, particularly for end users of
environmental goods and services. To achieve that goal,
CEBC focuses on seven areas of concern: the future of
the environmental industry in the state, business
development, regulatory reform, technology certification,
financing and access to capital, promotion of exports, and
education and training. CEBC has supported legislation
that facilitates technology development, represented the
industry in the state's review of its hazardous waste
management program, and conducted a campaign to
educate members of the state legislature about the needs
of the industry. CEBC also has represented the industry
on a state trade mission to China and worked with the
Western Partnership for Environmental Technology
Education and the Los Angeles Jobs Environmental
Training Consortium to develop and recognize
educational and training efforts for minorities in
environmental fields. In the future, the CEBC plans to
continue its support for legislative and regulatory reform,
as well as to continue its pursuit of educational outreach
programs.

Profile of business council: CCEM is a private,
independent association of environmental professionals
representing government, business, academic institutions,
and citizen groups. It is recognized by the Internal
Revenue Service as a nonprofit educational organization
under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Since its establishment by the governor of Colorado in
1990, CCEM's mission has been to improve the
environment of the state and the nation by facilitating
collaborative programs to solve environmental problems,
while stimulating economic development. For example,
CCEM has worked closely with the Western Governors'
Association's Demonstration of On-Site Innovative
Technologies (DOIT) Committee to support several
technology demonstrations. The center also has
collaborated with the DOIT Committee in the Interstate
Technology Regulatory Cooperation (ITRC) Group. The
ITRC group is intended to streamline acceptance by
regulators of innovative technologies by involving the
regulators early in the technology development process
and by promoting cooperation among the agencies of
various states.
CCEM also is working on the development of an
environmental business networking initiative called the
Colorado Center for Environmental Excellence (CCEE).
The CCEE will promote and coordinate partnerships
among its members and facilitate communication,
identification, and implementation of common goals;
sharing of services; and development of partnerships to
encourage environmental quality and the sustained
growth of the state's environmental business community.
CCEM is working with the mining industry to accomplish
-------

voluntary cleanup of abandoned mining sites.
Demonstrations of innovative technologies are a key
aspect of that effort. In addition, CCEM works with local
businesses to establish a waste exchange, the Rocky
Mountain Materials Exchange, based on the concept that
the waste stream of one business can be the feedstock of
another.

U.S. environmental goods and services. For example, the
EEC has developed a program with the U.S. Agency for
International Development to help U.S. companies enter
the market for municipal wastewater treatment services in
Brazil. The EEC also conducts visits to the U.S. by
Asian buyers and public officials who wish to consider
the purchase of U.S. environmental technology, goods,
and services. EEC works with the federal government on
issues related to the environmental component of the Free
Trade Agreement of the Americas and on negotiations
related to greenhouse gas emissions. EEC conducts study
tours, an annual conference, regional seminars, and
workshops. EEC also publishes a quarterly newsletter
and monthly member bulletins.
EEC plans to focus its future efforts on strengthening ties
developed under a 1995 memorandum of agreement
(MOU) with Brazil that includes an exchange of public
and private sector officials to follow up on opportunities
in the wastewater treatment sector and on establishing an
-------

Profile of business council: The NCETC is a major
initiative of NC ACTs, a state-sponsored organization.
NC ACTs undertook the consortium effort after
conducting a survey of the state's's producers and users
of environmental technologies and providers of
environmental services. The survey was intended to
profile the industry in the state and assess its technical
resource needs. The survey revealed that the industry in
the state is made up primarily of small firms; some 70
-------

EPA
percent are consultants or service providers, and the rest
are manufacturing or research and development firms.
Respondents to the survey identified the uncertain
regulatory climate as the most significant impediment to
the growth of their industry. They identified needs for
information about business development, assistance in
securing funds, assistance in identifying and developing
markets, and assistance in technology transfer. The
consortium, developed in response to those needs, is
intended to design and implement programs that foster the
growth and development of environmental technology
businesses in the state and to stimulate the
commercialization of environmental technologies
developed by the state's university research community.
The consortium also is designed to foster the reduction of
adverse effects of industrial activities on the state's
limited natural resources, thereby protecting the
environment. To support the consortium, NC ACTS has
published the North Carolina Environmental Technology
Business Directory, which provides information about
such businesses in the state. More recently, an inventory
of research and development capability in the state has
been undertaken under the aegis of the consortium.

formats; conducts conferences, workshops, and
professional training; and provides on-site consulting
services to its members. With the Global Environmental
Technology Enterprise (GETE), NASDA has formed the
GETE/NASDA Environmental Technology Network of
providers of environmental technology services at the
state level. The goal of the network is to promote the
commercialization of environmental technologies through
interactive communication among the states. In January
1996, the organizations conducted a meeting of service
providers to discuss the role of those providers and the
future role of the network in addressing three major
factors that affect the commercialization of environmental
technologies: capital, regulation, and information sharing
and marketing to improve the pace of commercialization.
NASDA and GETE plan to conduct a meeting in October
1996 as a follow-up to the January meeting. In
preparation for that event, NASDA is conducting a survey
of state technology organizations to determine their
approaches to identifying potential technology users and
successful examples of commercialization of
environmental technologies.
