The
goal of Course 108 is to provide an overview of environmental law,
principally at the federal level. The course begins with a brief
overview of the purpose of environmental law and regulation, and the
interplay of federal, state and local laws.
The course explains environmental law practice before the relevant
agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, including the
rulemaking process and citizen suits, the appeals process, and
enforcement and litigation.
Our faculty will then provide an overview of the key federal
environmental laws and their impact on the energy industry; the laws
addressed will cover the major statutes (National Environmental Policy
Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, etc.), and for each we will address (i) who regulates, (ii) who is regulated, (iii) what is regulated, and (iv) how it is regulated.
Finally, we will address environmental law considerations in project
development, system operations, and energy transactions (in particular,
how environmental law factors into transaction due diligence).
This
course is intended for new energy lawyers practicing environmental law
and energy transaction lawyers who need an overview of environmental
laws and regulations.
