The January webinar will highlight the partnership between the Superfund Redevelopment Initiative (SRI) and the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). Since 2005, this partnership has linked AMA with interested Superfund communities, providing much-needed flying fields for aeromodelers and responsible long-term stewards for Superfund sites. EPA and AMA presenters will discuss how the partnership came about and how it has evolved since its inception. The majority of the webinar will focus on stories of specific sites that currently serve as flying fields. Presenters will offer insights into factors allowed for the site's reuse, the role each party involved (AMA Club, EPA, and site owner) played and continues to play at the site, impacts of the site's reuse on the community, and key benefits of the reuse of these sites.
