9th Symposium

As a result of the resounding success of our 2015 Design and Contruction Issues at Hazardous Waste Sites (DCHWS) and the tremendously supportive feedback we received from attendees, SAME has begun preparation for the 2016 event. The enthusiastic participation of the attendees is a major element of the symposium’s success.

The applications of engineering and science associated with cleaning up hazardous waste sites continue to evolve rapidly. Our goal is to facilitate an interactive engagement between professionals from government and the private sector related to relevant and topical issues affecting our field. We will make every effort to mirror all aspects of past symposiums in terms of format and spirit. We are engaging with past organizers and participants to promote this, and have retained John J. Smith the past chair of the planning committee to assist the Post. As a SAME event, registration fees will be covered by private sector sponsorships and registration fees. The registration fee is being waived for government employees.
