2006 Phoenix Award Applications Now Being Accepted for Brownfield Projects

The Phoenix Award Executive Committee is seeking redevelopment projects to recognize for excellence in brownfield redevelopment.

Applications are due June 30.

The awards are open to any individual, group, company, organization, government body or agency.

One winner will be selected from each of EPA's ten regions, and one project from outside the United States may be selected as the international winner. Additional special winners also will be selected, including projects that have a significant impact for small communities, or revitalizing sites with abandoned underground storage tanks or mine-scarred lands.

Criteria for The Phoenix Awards focus on the magnitude of the project, innovative techniques, solutions to regulatory issues, and impact upon the community. A panel of environmental professionals and business, academic and government leaders select the winners.

The project participants will be honored at an awards ceremony during Brownfields 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts, November 13-15.

Applications for The Phoenix Awards are available on-line. Questions should be directed to Denise Chamberlain at 717-761-0554.
