Key Environmental Issues in U.S. EPA Region 1 offers a unique opportunity to engage in dialogue with policy makers and representatives of the legal profession involved in environmental issues in New England. This regional seminar has been planned by local state bar representatives, EPA regional lawyers, and state government representatives. Special emphasis is placed on program initiatives and priorities both in Region 1 and in the six states as presented by EPA Regional Administrator Robert Varney, Massachusetts Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Ian Bowles and the Commissioners of the six New England state environmental agencies. The program includes a keynote address from EPA Acting General Counsel Roger Martella. Pertinent issues of the day – emerging issues under the Clean Air Act and in water regulation, Superfund, brownfields, energy facility siting, enforcement, and ethics – are covered in the seven general and breakout sessions.
