If you find yourself debating your friends and colleagues over the merits of NWPR vs. Rapanos, or have ever used “retained” and “assumed” waters in a single sentence, this course is designed for you!  Florida’s efforts to implement the Clean Water Act, Section 404 dredge and fill permitting authority from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have stretched beyond eighteen months, and some of the new car smell is wearing off…  This panel of experts will discuss where DEP is in the process of implementation; provide updates and the latest guidance from the EPA, Corps and state and federal wildlife agencies; summarize the ongoing debate over WOTUS jurisdiction; and opine about the future of the Florida State 404 program.  Audience participation is inevitable!
