35th Environmental Permitting Summer School

As developable land demand continues to be unabated in our State, contaminated media management and cleanup in Florida has evolved over the last few years.  Several processes to facilitate reuse of contaminated properties are in place and are being followed by lawyers and consultants, however, these processes have also brought many unforeseen challenges of their own.  Panelists will discuss challenges they experience in their practice as they approach site closures and how they approach resolving these challenges.  Also, the round-table format discussions will involved the latest in stormwater management in contaminated media; emerging contaminants (PFAS) and reopeners, what are monetary and legal risks on emerging contaminants (do we have another focused trust fund in the making?), statutory proposals being considered for 2021, the evolution of “background” determination, upcoming policy changes, the latest from the utilities world, and several other hot topics that are sure to capture the audience’s attention.  This class has been standing-room only in the past and the round-table format allows active panel and audience interaction.  Come, listen and learn from instructors that are on the forefront of hot issues and how they navigate through the latest challenges.  Instructors:  Jorge Caspary (Moderator), Ron Noble, Laurel Lockett, Frank Hearne, Al Malefatto, Howard Nelson, Mike Petrovich, Jason Lichtstein
