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. ------- Environmental Business Council Resources ^ EPA 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. 4 ------- Environmental Business Council Resources § EPA Economic Development/Marketing California Environmental Business Council, Inc.

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.

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 5 ------- Environmental Business Council Resources Q EPA 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.

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.
