Are you interested in becoming a part of the longest running Pennsylvania Statewide Conference on Abandoned Mine Reclamation?

In 2011, the Eastern PA Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (EPCAMR) and the PA Conference Planning Committee will be coordinating the 13th Annual Conference on Abandoned Mine Reclamation & Coal Mine Heritage from August 4th thru the 6th, 2011 at the Best Western Genetti Inn & Suites, Hazleton, PA. This year EPCAMR not only will be playing host to the Conference in the heart of the Eastern Middle Anthracite Coal Region, it will also be celebrating its 15th Anniversary!

EPCAMR will be taking the lead on the coordination of the 13th Annual PA Abandoned Mine Reclamation & Coal Mining Heritage conference for 2011, with its western PA counterpart, WPCAMR, and other state-wide reclamation partners who make up the Conference Planning Committee directing programming and event planning details. The Conference Planning Committee is made up of a mix of non-profit organizations, for-profit companies and levels of state, federal and local government that deal with a common goal of reclaiming Pennsylvania’s abandoned mine land problems. This year’s conference theme will be focused around coalitions and partners who are working together to design and construct mine drainage remediation systems and abandoned mine reclamation projects that are both innovative and sustainable. PA’s abandoned mine lands and mining impacted waterways are now in a position to become assets in our environment if we can continue to find innovative ways to reuse and recycle the mine water and land for alternative energy production.

PA community watersheds have always partnered with companies and coalitions that are interested in restoring and reclaiming our Commonwealth’s abandoned mine lands and waters. These problem areas could one day create sustainable communities that could decrease our carbon footprint utilizing solar, wind, hydro-electric, geothermal, and the Marcellus Shale oil & gas energy.

While our community leaders are stewards of our local watersheds impacted by mining, we need to work with our private sector leaders to become engaged in corporate citizenship on a local level, particularly with new industry leaders who are coming into PA.

The PA Conference Planning Committee would like to inform you of the levels of Sponsorship participation in this year’s event that your company may be interested in supporting.  In our past Conferences, we have provided space for exhibits and ample time for attendees to visit them throughout the duration of the two day Conference.
