Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council

Ecological elements considered at the inception of planning for environmental remediation can be a cost-effective and an efficient way to restore, create, and improve wildlife habitat or the ecological system of the site. The Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC), a state-led coalition working together with federal partners, industry, academia and stakeholders to achieve regulatory acceptance of environmental technologies, has published a technical and regulatory guidance document: Planning and Promoting Ecological Land Reuse of Remediated Sites (ECO-2, 2006).

ITRC develops and delivers training courses via the Internet to reach a geographically dispersed audience of regulators, consultants, and other members of the environmental community. These courses create a unique forum for the exchange of technical and regulatory information because they are based on ITRC guidance documents, which reflect the consensus opinion of ITRC members from states and federal environmental agencies, the private sector and citizen stakeholders. If you have questions after completing the online registration, call 402-201-2419 or send an e-mail to training@itrcweb.org.
