The fifth meeting of the Pilot Study was held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from June 17-22, 2007. This meeting dealt with the issues relating to sediment sites, as well as some questions of contamination by persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Nineteen technical papers fell under the broad topics of sediment characterization and sediment remediation. Thirteen countries gave Tour de Table presentations–summaries of the state of the development of waste and contaminated land programs and/or related research in their respective countries. The United States is the lead country for the Pilot Study, and 16 other countries participated in the meeting. This report is a set of abstracts of the presentations at the meeting. In addition, a CD containing all presentation materials (e.g., power point slides) from this meeting and the four previous meetings is available. CDs are available by contacting the country representatives listed at the back of this document.

This document reports on the fifth and final meeting of the Pilot Study on Prevention and Remediation Issues in Selected Industrial Sectors. The purpose of the pilot study is to define and explore best practices for reducing the health and environmental impact on soil and groundwater from industrial sectors of interest (e.g., metals mining, organic chemical production, gasworks, and fertilizer manufacturing) as well as other unique site “types” (e.g., old landfills, privatization sites [i.e., facilities transitioning from former state ownership in certain categories], mega-sites [i.e., large scale former industrial and mining facilities], and shoreline sediment sites). The pilot study explored the techniques and technologies for preventing and avoiding discharge to soil and groundwater as well as measurement and remediation for that industry sector or site type. It sought to engage industry and other private sector organizations at the transnational level in sharing and evaluating technical information. In reviewing case studies as well as experience from the previous CCMS pilot study on contaminated land and other sources, the pilot study strived to assess or benchmark “what is easy to clean,” “what is difficult to clean,” and “what is impossible, at reasonable cost, to clean.” The unique contribution of the pilot study is measured by its ability to synthesize information regarding best practices, successes and failures, and uncertainties for the sectors of interest.
