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. Paul B. Hatzinger, Shaw Environmental,
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 Corporation North 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, Inc.
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.”
Dr. Jay Hodny, W.L. Gore,
and his colleagues are participating on several ITRC teams to gain more knowledge and to share their information. “Participation in ITRC is valuable on two fronts,”
Jay says. “It allows us to share our expertise in technical areas and provides us with regulator and industry input to improve our products for site characterization, monitoring,
pollution prevention and remediation.”
Harley Hopkins of API,
a national trade association representing all aspects of America’s oil and natural gas industry, describes ITRC as “an excellent forum for industry to collaborate
with regulators, consultants, and federal agencies on topics of mutual interest.”
