Speaking Engagement
July 21, 2021
Howard Nelson participated in a panel discussion titled Hot Topics/Emerging Issues in Waste Management at the 2021 Environmental Permitting Summer School hosted by the Florida Environmental Network. Panelists discussed challenges they experience in their practice as they approach site closures and how they approach resolving these challenges, 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, and the latest from the utilities world.
