3rd Annual EBC/AIM Seminar on Environmental Regulatory Challenges and Evolving Trends

Details: For the third year, the Environmental Business Council (EBC) and Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM) have worked with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and the US Environmental Protection Agency to organize this forum for the purpose of:

• Promoting the exchange of information between DEP, EPA, EBC and AIM members
• Providing expanded awareness of DEP and EPA priorities, directions, and overall issues facing the agencies
• Providing feedback to DEP and EPA on what is working well and what could be improved
