Welcome to Chicago! This episode was recorded at National Brownfields Conference. EPA’s Brownfields program is a multibillion-dollar program that provides the principal funding for communities to address brownfield sites. The national conference brings together those communities, The EPA, consultants, vendors, regulators and assistance programs for a comprehensive learning and networking experience. In this episode of 3:12 we’re going to hear a series of quick interviews that cover all kinds of topics, from AI integration, to sustainable plant-based remediation techniques, to training the next generation of environmental consultants. Our play hard section is, as always, a video segment! This time we’re meeting with Randi Mendes, Executive Director of the UCONN Technical Assistance to brownfields program.
