About

Redeveloping Idaho’s Brownfields. 
Northwest Environmental Business Council is pleased to present a one-day brownfields conference. This conference will deliver an exceptional learning and networking environment for those working to make contaminated properties economically viable for reuse. 

Bringing together a cross-section of stakeholders, attendees will learn what it takes to successfully bring a project to completion.  

Real Examples & Practical Learning. 
This one-day event provides both long-time professionals and novices with insight into the brownfields redevelopment process from start to finish, along with the knowledge of how to find and manage critical resources for each step of a project. The agenda includes several Idaho case studies as well presentations from Idaho DEQ, US EPA, Idaho tribes, and more.
