The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency is pleased to host the sixth biennial Freshwater
Spills Symposium (FSS) in Portland, Oregon, May 2-4, 2006. For the first time, short courses will also be offered on Monday, May
1, 2006.
The FSS offers an opportunity
for local, state, federal, and industry responders, natural resource
trustees and managers, facility response planners, and other stakeholders
to engage in an exchange targeted at the unique problems presented by
freshwater oil spills.
Through the efforts
of excellent speakers and presenters, the Freshwater Spill Symposium aims
to further our understanding of the challenges posed by oil spills in
freshwater environments, and to expand the resources and information
available. The FSS 2006 Design Team is again looking forward to the
participants imparting their experiences and knowledge of planning for,
preventing, and responding to freshwater oil spills.
See the FSS Brochure for more information.
