Through the hard work and dedication of the Organizing Committee and The Willow Group, we have again assembled a high quality program that we hope you will find stimulating and informative. Since the early 1990’s, federal environmental specialists have worked to develop a nation-wide strategy to address federal contaminated sites. The combination of the government’s 2004 commitment of long-term funding and the establishment of the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP) program has made it possible for federal custodians and the environmental industry to undertake a collaborative effort for effective and responsible management of federal contaminated sites. The first four National Workshops, held in Ottawa in 2006, in Vancouver in 2008, in Montreal in 2010 and in Toronto in 2012, provided a unique forum for federal public servants engaged in environmental management and remediation, industry representatives and academics to share experiences and learn from one another. Building on this foundation, the 2014 plenary sessions, poster displays, trade show and numerous networking opportunities provide a venue to discuss technical, scientific and management strategies for addressing federal sites with colleagues from across the country, and allow for the building of partnerships that are critical to our collective success. Our program begins with the popular pre-Workshop Professional Development Day which offers intensive sessions for those seeking a more in-depth look at the FCSAP decision making framework; contaminated sites procurement approaches; a panel discussion on considerations in the selection of remediation vs risk management; long-term monitoring; sustainable remediation; soil, water and air sampling; project data management; estimating remediation liability; the tools for risk assessment validation and site closure; and, climate change impacts. The next two days of the Workshop will feature concurrent streams covering the topics of management of radioactive contamination technologies and rase studies; sediment characterization and remediation; contaminated sites guidance; project management; LNAPL management framework; nothern project; risk assessment and risk management; emerging contaminants; stockholder engagement; liability and socio-economic considerations; and, sustainability. Our special thanks go out to the 2014 Organizing and Technical Review Committees for the time and effort taken to review and select presentations and to the staff of The Willow Group, without whom it would have been impossible to hold a Workshop of this size and scope. We look forward to meeting you at the Workshop and hope that our program will provide you with the tools and information you require as you undertake the challenges of addressing federal contaminated sites.
