verification.
The conference goal is to provide a forum
for the exchange of scientific information
on current and future environmental issues

tion exchange will serve to enhance the
legacy  of  remediation and cleanup and
contribute to  the sustainable U.S. modern
mining industry.
This conference is  aimed at hardrock
mining remediation researchers and practi-
tioners; federal, state, local, and tribal
decision makers;  the  mining industry; and
others  interested in  hardrock mining
remediation.
