The Department of Environmental Protection and the Engineers' Society of Western Pennsylvania have announced the 2015 Pennsylvania Brownfields Conference will be held May 13-15, 2015 at the Erie Bayfront Convention Center, Erie.

The conference will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pennsylvania's historic Land Recycling Act.  It will highlight successful projects from the last 20 years from around Pennsylvania.

Since its inception in 1995, more than 5,700 sites have entered into Act 2’s Land Recycling cleanup program.  Of those, 4,500 sites have attained one of three cleanup standards; and another 1,200 sites are actively working toward this goal.
