Environmental Regulations:

Program Description

With urbanization threatening natural resources, environmental regulations have become more important than ever.  Some environmental regulations can severely limit the use and development of particular parcels of property.  These types of environmental regulations may be the basis for a regulatory takings claim when they go too far. 

This teleconference and live audio webcast will analyze several major environmental regulations as part of a general discussion in the context of compensable regulatory takings.  The perspectives of both the property owner and the agency passing the environmental regulation will be put forward. 

This analysis will help lawyers who represent property owners and those who represent agencies passing environmental regulations by educating them on where the line is between a permissible exercise of the state’s police power and an impermissible regulatory taking of property.
