| Upcoming SERDP and/or ESTCP Sponsored Events | Partners in Environmental Technology Technical Symposium & Workshop
Washington, D.C.
December 2-4, 2008  Mark your calendars for this year's SERDP and ESTCP sponsored Symposium which last year attracted more than 900 environmental professionals. This event will provide attendees: (1) plenary session speakers offering key insights into environmental issues; (2) concurrent technical sessions and short courses covering the latest in environmental research results and technical innovations as well as unique training opportunities; (3) poster sessions featuring more than 400 technical posters; (4) exhibit booths offering information about funding opportunities in related research programs; (5) networking opportunities with more than 900 environmental professionals; and (6) a session providing a summary of SERDP and ESTCP funding opportunities to conduct research and demonstrations.
New this year, the Symposium & Workshop has been expanded to a full three-day format that will offer a more comprehensive technical program featuring 13 technical sessions and several short courses. The Call for Poster Abstracts is now available! The due date for all poster abstracts is July 31, 2008. Symposium Registration and a preliminary agenda will be available in June.

2008 Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) Seminar
Palm Springs, California
August 12-14, 2008
Leading explosives safety experts from the military, government agencies and academia will gather for this three-day seminar that will include technical sessions, roundtable discussions, an exhibit hall, VIP speakers and social events. Experts from around the globe who have been charged with the mission of enhancing explosives safety will use the seminar as a venue to share knowledge and best practices focused on the 2008 theme of “Operationalizing Explosives Safety.” The DDESB operationalizes explosives safety by proactively engaging and integrating explosives safety tenets, risk identification and mitigation into every facet of the munitions lifecycle. For 80 years, the DDESB has led the way in the development, implementation, execution, and oversight of the DoD Explosives Safety Management Program (ESMP), which has played a vital role in enhanced asset and force protection, and ensured the preservation of the Department’s war fighting capabilities. The 2008 DDESB Seminar will present the latest research, development findings, and lessons and provide vital networking opportunities.

DoD Metal Finishing Workshop - Chromate Alternatives for Metal Treatment and Sealing
Ogden, UT
(held May 15-17, 2007) This SERDP/ESTCP-sponsored technical workshop brought together individuals from DoD and industry to identify specific DoD needs, commercial solutions, and engineering data for replacing chromate processes used for metal finishing in the manufacturing and maintenance of weapons systems including vehicles, aircraft and vessels. A plenary session that provided DoD and industry overviews was followed by breakout sessions grouped by corrosion control applications. The meeting was held near Hill AFB (Ogden Air Logistics Center), and attendees toured the plating and finishing shops at Hill to provide commercial suppliers with a better understanding of how DoD uses chromates. This meeting resulted in the release of a SERDP statement-of-need related to pretreatments in the FY09 solicitation. A summary of the workshop findings can be found in the Workshop Summary Report.

Metal Finishing Workshop
Washington, D.C.
(held May 22-23, 2006) SERDP and ESTCP co-sponsored a workshop to develop a strategic plan for future environmental research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) investments and to support the transition of demonstrated environmentally benign metal plating and finishing technologies. Workshop participants (1) reviewed the current and emerging regulations both in the United States and abroad; (2) examined the metal finishing and plating practices currently used in the Defense manufacturing and maintenance community; (3) reviewed the available, environmentally benign alternatives; (4) identified technical, financial, and other barriers to implementation of these alternatives; and (5) identified gaps in current metal finishing technology that should be addressed by future RDT&E investments. These findings, applicable to the entire metal finishing industry, are discussed in the Workshop Summary Report.
Expert Panel Workshop on Reducing the Uncertainty of DNAPL Source Zone Remediation
Baltimore, Maryland
(held March 7-8, 2006) SERDP and ESTCP co-sponsored a workshop to define a path forward to further reduce the uncertainty surrounding dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) sites by providing (1) a critical review of the progress to date, including a consensus perspective on the implications of the funded research for practical remediation; (2) an overview of the current state of the science; and (3) a summary and prioritization of the remaining data gaps. More than 40 experts participated in the workshop, which defined key issues and critical and high-priority needs for both research and demonstration projects. Results are described in the Workshop Final Report, which will guide the SERDP and ESTCP strategic plan for investments toward DNAPL source zones over the next 5 to 10 years.

Symposium and Workshop
Baltimore, Maryland
(held June 7-9, 2005) This Symposium held in Baltimore, MD brought together the nation's top researchers for endangered species. The event was sponsored by the Department of Defense's (DoD) Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and the Army's Environmental Research and Development Center, as well as the DoD Legacy Program, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the U.S. Geological Survey. In addition to members from these organizations, participants included researchers and managers from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and various non-profit organizations, state agencies, universities, and private consulting firms.
Developing effective methods for sustaining the DoD training and testing missions, while simultaneously protecting threatened and endangered species (TES), is a challenge requiring strong partnerships that support ongoing cutting-edge scientific research. The focus of the workshop was to help in establishing and fostering such partnerships. The workshop brought together nearly 200 stakeholders to discuss TES conservation and research needs on DoD and adjacent lands. For more information, please visit www.serdp.org/tesworkshop.
| Expert Panel Workshop on Research and Development Needs for the In Situ Management
of Contaminated Sediments
(held August 10-11, 2004) SERDP and ESTCP co-sponsored a workshop to (1) examine the current state of the science and engineering, (2) identify the gaps in knowledge and technology, and (3) prioritize those gaps where investments in research and development or field demonstrations could have the greatest impact on DoD's aquatic sediments remediation program. Nearly 80 research needs were identified and prioritized at the workshop. These needs are described in the Workshop Final Report, which serves as a strategic plan to guide investments in the area of contaminated sediments over the next 5 years by SERDP and ESTCP.
