CLU-IN Webinar Series on Mining Sites beginning in June 2012 
OSRTI's Technology Innovation and Field Services Division is launching a new www.cluin.org webinar series on treatment technologies at mining sites. The first webinar in this series will be launched June 13, 2012 (see below). The webinars are targeted to site managers, regulatory agencies, consultants, and the general public as a source of relevant and current information on abandoned mine land issues and available treatment technologies. Potential topics include technology transfer, innovative and ecological approaches to dealing with mining waste, reuse and recovery technologies, renewable energy on former mine sites, and other related focus areas.
Ideas for other webinar topics are welcome! Please submit your comments to Michele Mahoney at mahoney.michele@epa.gov
