FERC 101, continued - Robert Deibel - USDA Forest Service and Matt Rice, Amer...rshimoda2014
This session provides two critical perspectives on the relicencing process beyond that of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, that of the agencies who manage rivers affected by hydro facilities, and organizations representing environmental issues and the interests of recreational users.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is an Independent Commission that sets and regulates the process and procedures for involvement during a formal license proceeding. The objectives of this overview are to
provide interested participants an understanding of: 1) WHO FERC is; 2) WHAT this strictly regulated process requires in terms of participation; and 3) HOW participants can prepare and participate to succeed in a proceeding.
The presentation will cover process as well and identify
key points in a proceeding to focus their time and effort in order to effectively participate.

Presentation from a webinar by Ryan Janoch (Mapistry), Wendy Manley (Wendel Rosen Black & Dean LLP) and Jamie Cint (GaiaTech) that focused on municipal stormwater, from program management to permit compliance. Technical considerations, including identifying, reducing and eliminating illicit discharges, and developing and conducting effective asset management (mapping) and maintenance programs are covered. In addition, recent regulatory developments involving municipal stormwater programs are included.
This presentation was given at the Catchment Management Network meeting on February 24th 2017. The Catchment Management Network consists of the EPA, all of Ireland's Local Authorities, and other public bodies involved in looking after Ireland's catchments, sub-catchments and water bodies.

The Environmental Auditing: Federal Compliance Guide is a tool for assessing a facility's compliance with federal environmental regulations. Environmental audit checklists address auditing requirements for manufacturing and service industry facilities, as well as utilities, exploration, oil and gas, chemical companies, and regulatory agencies.
Environmental Auditing is an invaluable resource for environmental and occupational health and safety professionals, attorneys, and corporate counsel.
