“
The increasing demand under a wide range of federal, state and local regulatory programs for the mitigation of natural resource impacts associated with development, together with the increasing obligations for remediation of prior resource damages, continues to pose challenges for regulatory agencies, conservation stakeholders and public and private developers alike. Understanding the dynamic evolution of state and federal programs facilitating the concept of resource banking to provide advance compensatory mitigation and remediation credits under regulatory schemes as diverse as Section 401/404, Superfund and ESA is essential to the successful completion of the permitting and remediation process.
The goal of this seminar is to inform attorneys, regulatory staff, developers and project manager in the public and private sectors of both existing and emerging credit banking tools and concepts under programs administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA, EPA, DOE and other agencies”.
