39th Environmental Permitting Summer School

Over the last 10 years, the nation has been subject to frequent definition changes to the Waters of the United States (WOTUS), resulting in extreme uncertainty in the jurisdiction of Section 404 jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act. The changes have been brought on by the last four administrations and significantly affected by a stalwart couple from Idaho and the federal court system. In March of this year, we were gifted with perhaps the BEST (measured by the humor of its title, even if you disagree on the content) joint memorandum ever issued by the US EPA and US Army Corps of Engineers. In this course, a panel of WOTUS experts will discuss the latest revisions to the definition and the implications for practitioners in Florida. Come with your questions. Audience participation is encouraged!
