* Note: Networking Groups are groups of state and federal contacts that have a common interest and responsibility in a particular waste management, waste site cleanup, or pollution prevention area that use the networking group to share information electronically and through irregular conference calls or meetings, if appropriate. The primary focus of these groups is to share information and not to conduct projects.
