November 2009 Conference Calendar New England Region | It’s hard to believe it’s already November! Daylight savings caught me off guard this weekend, but I am pleased to have some sun in the morning now! The darkness on the end of the work day is less fun. Hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather – we’ve had some really spectacular days! I got out for some fall hiking and backpacking, which reinforced that Fall is my favorite season!
This month the list of conferences and workshops is light…
don’t forget to send me info on any upcoming events!
Conferences (in chronological order)
Stormwater in New England
Federal, state and local governments are increasingly focused o n stormwater as a critical water quality issue. As a result, the regulation of stormwater runoff now plays a central role in local and regional land use planning and project permitting. This has led to increasingly complex regulatory programs, such as TMDLs and the exercise of EPA's Residual Designation Authority, as well as the creation of local stormwater utility districts. All of these developments present new challenges to regulated parties and their counsel and consultants. We have assembled experienced representatives of federal, state and local governments, consultants and legal practitioners from throughout New England to discuss these novel challenges and to provide practical suggestions and insights for those facing them.
