The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is pleased to host the sixth biennial Freshwater Spills Symposium (FSS) in Portland, Oregon, May 2-4, 2006. For the first time at FSS, short courses will be also offered on Monday, May 1, 2006. See the attached brochure for more information on the Symposium. Participants can now register for the FREE Symposium and short courses on the FSS website at http://www.freshwaterspills.net/fss06.   We encourage you to register early to ensure that you can attend the short course(s) of your choice and to take advantage of the negotiated discounted rate for accommodation at the DoubleTree Hotel and Executive Meeting Center, Portland-Lloyd Center where the Symposium will take place.   FSS 2006 will focus on planning, prevention, and response issues specific to freshwater spills, including the topic of preparedness and response to oil spills resulting from natural disasters. The symposium will also continue to emphasize the frequently understated impact of oil spills in inland water bodies.   We hope that you will join us for what will certainly be, once again, a great event!   Sincerely, FSS 2006 Design Team   For more information, see http://www.freshwaterspills.net/fss06.
