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 (OSWER) 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.

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.

NCACTs
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 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.
