University Hall Conference Center
Montclair State University
October 19, 2012

The fifth Passaic River Symposium will be held on October 19, 2012 at Montclair State University located in Upper Montclair, New Jersey.

This symposium is a biennial, daylong event that brings together educators, scientists, government officials, community leaders and industry representatives to discuss all aspects of the environmental management challenges relevant to the Passaic River Basin. 

Organized by the Montclair State University’s Passaic River Institute, the symposium has become the area’s most important forum for discussing the current state and future outlook for the ongoing remediation and restoration of the Passaic River. 

This year's event will feature the Lower Passaic River Restoration Project and include invited keynote speakers and plenary sessions/presentations on all aspects of environmental management challenges relevant to the Passaic River Basin. 

Symposium V will focus on sediment remediation as part of the Lower Passaic Interim Remedial Measure, the release of the Focused Feasibility Study, ecosystem restoration and environmental advocacy and public outreach efforts.  Projects in the upper river and tributary watersheds will also play a prominent role in this conference.
