Managing Toxic Contaminants – Lessons and Best Practices for PCB Management from Regional Programs
We hosted a cross program symposium on January 24 & 25, 2023 focused on sharing information on programs, projects, and best practices to help improve the cleanup and management of PCBs. Representatives from the Puget Sound, Chesapeake Bay, Spokane River, Delaware River, Great Lakes, and New Bedford Harbor provided background and insights on PCB management in their regions. Our main goal was to provide an opportunity to learn from one another so that we can, collectively, reduce the levels and effects of PCBs in the environment.
