The MPCA Remediation Division Consultants' Day events provide guidance on a number of topics to improve environmental investigations and corrective actions at contaminated sites.
This year's event will be hybrid, allowing for online and in-person participation. Due to space restrictions, up to 3 people from each firm/organization can attend in person. There are no limits on how many people can attend virtually. Please plan accordingly and thank you for understanding.
