California is facing economic challenges, but these challenges also create entrepreneurial opportunities. Today, a variety of partnerships among State, Federal, commercial, and private environmental restoration stakeholders is addressing these challenges. These partnerships include State and Federal regulatory agencies, such as the US and California Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA and Cal EPA); the US Department of Energy (DOE) and its National Laboratories; and private enterprises, particularly small environmental businesses. The mission of these partnerships includes the following: to provide strategic planning to streamline the regulatory processes; to find cost-effective technologies for environmental restoration and matches between problem holders and technology providers; to assist small businesses in securing funding; to provide information services; and to provide education and training, especially for environmental restoration managers.
