The Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) welcomes companies and trade associations to its Industry Affiliates Program (IAP). The IAP provides three important elements to the environmental site owner, consultant, technology developer, or trade association. These elements are:
- Information exchange on the development and deployment of appropriate innovative environmental technologies.
- Access to a large audience of state regulators, federal agency representatives, leading environmental companies, members of academia and citizen stakeholders.
- Participation in ITRC technical teams that produce technical regulatory documents and training.
Joining IAP allows your organization to:
- advance understanding of appropriate innovative technologies.
- anticipate important technical or regulatory developments and stay on the cutting edge of the environmental remediation industry.
- improve decision making surrounding the development and deployment of innovative environmental technologies.
- obtain regulatory consensus on appropriate innovative environmental technologies.
- network with people from all aspects of the environmental remediation community.
- gain exposure in the environmental remediation industry by authoring technical documents and conducting technical training.
All IAP members:
- receive public acknowledgement of their organization’s support on ITRC literature and Web site.
- are provided with substantial discounts on ITRC meeting registration fees, class room training sessions, and exhibit space at ITRC meetings.
- are eligible for an ITRC Team recognition award based on exemplary service during the year (award provides a discount on IAP membership for the following year).
- have a direct line of communication with ITRC’s Board of Advisors through the Board of Advisors Industry Representative.
- have a mechanism to, as a group, review and comment on ITRC documents, training, and team proposals.
Dr. Mark Bruce, TestAmerica
views IAP membership as an excellent way to help shape the processes and procedures that will be used in future site characterizations. “IAP participation provides us the opportunity to co-develop next generation analytical procedures with our clients and regulators that will review site characterization data. That not only keeps us on the leading edge, but ensures our efforts are going in the right direction.”
Elizabeth Hawley, Malcolm Pirnie, Inc.
says “working as part of an ITRC team allows me to pool information and experience with others to collectively advance the state of knowledge on emerging issues. I’m continually impressed with the group's ability to move forward and formulate useful guidance despite uncertainty in the regulatory environment.”
Steve Geiger, AECOM
finds that “ITRC provides a much-needed forum for industry and regulators to share and update information critical to cost-effective characterization and remediation of contaminated sites. The benefit to site owners, regulators, and stakeholders is a trustworthy compilation of information from diverse sources that has been vetted by the regulatory community.”
Dr. Paul B. Hatzinger, Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc.,
and his colleagues share their knowledge and expertise with environmental professionals across the country by developing guidance documents and conducting training.
”ITRC represents a unique opportunity to collaborate with academicians, regulators, public interest groups, and federal employees to develop information resources on a wide range of topics,
including environmental contaminants, characterization methods, pollution prevention approaches, and treatment techniques.”
Dr. David Tsao, BP America, Inc.
says ”working side-by-side with regulators to develop ITRC technical and regulatory guidance documents and training materials, and then to share that material with a regulator
for one of my sites is an invaluable, time-saving step toward a solution that we can both feel confident in accepting.”
Nick DeRose, Langan Engineering and Environmental Services,
considers the Industry Affiliates Program a great investment for his company. ”Our professional staff have enhanced their expertise through productive associations with ITRC
technical teams, working with practice leaders from across the United States and internationally. In cooperation with ITRC, Langan has presented high-quality innovative environmental
technology seminars which have reached a national audience, and we look forward to continuing our strong partnership with ITRC."
