Here we are again! The Professional Abatement Contractors of New York's (PACNY's) 22nd Annual Environmental Conference is 13 days away. As usual, we are excited for the conference and looking forward to going to
Turning Stone Resort & Casino in
Verona, New York to hear some presentations, gamble a bit, and enjoy some great networking. We are sponsoring the conference, again. So come visit Future Environment Design's (FEDTC) at booth 18! Ms. Sheryl Esposito will be womaning the booth! As we have done in the past, we will be tweeting the conference live at twitter.com/angelogarcia3 with the

Linda Reinstein, President & Co-Founder of the
Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization and the Global Ban Asbestos Network, presentation on Thursday, March 1, 2018, is the keynote speaker. She is inspiring and we are looking forward to hearing an update about the ban of asbestos under the current administration. Mr. James Meacham, of the
New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL), presentation on Wednesday, February 28, 2018, "Solving the Mystery of the ACB" sounds intriguing. Considering all the problems we have experienced on Long Island (Clemente Park & Dix Hills) with the dumping of asbestos and other hazardous materials, Richard Clarkson, of
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), presentation on Thursday, March 1, 2018, on "Part 360 Revisions and Solid Waste Regulations" should be very interesting! On the same day, Mr. Adam Andrews, of the American Council of Accredited Certifications (ACAC), presentation on "The Advantages of Certification for
Indoor Air Quality" will give us a different perspective. Mr. Bob Krell of IAQ Technologies and Healthy Indoors Magazine, presentation "Avoiding Potential Pitfalls of Mold Investigations and Remediation Projects" will close out Thursday. Leading us into the cocktail reception in the exhibitor hall.

The final day of the conference typically starts with a presentation before NYSDOL's panel and round table discussion. This year, we are looking forward to hearing AAC's Peter DeLucia's presentation on "Managing the Many Facets of the Silica in the Construction Standard". It will be interesting to hear how a contractor is dealing with this new standard that went into effect in September 2017. The conference will close out with the Panel from the NYSDOL featuring Dr, Eileen Franco, Director; Mr. James Meacham, PE, Program Manager; Ed Smith, PE, Engineering Services Unit; & Mr. Kirk Fisher, Licensing & Certification Unit. They will be giving us an update on what they are doing and an opportunity to ask questions. If you wish to attend you can register for the conference at
PACNY's website. We look forward to seeing you there. It always a good time!
