Applying Sustainability Principles to Regulatory Decisions, McCormick & Schmick’s Harborside, Seattle. Environmental laws tend to have a single focus, such as clean air, clean water or waste disposal. Pursuit of these singular goals without consideration of other direct and indirect environmental impacts can perversely result in creating greater environmental impacts than no controls at all. This presentation will explore concepts for achieving net environmental benefits both within existing regulatory schemes and with statutory reform. Mark Morford of Stoel Rivers LLP will lead the discussion. Presented by NEBC. For more information visit http://www.nebc.org/Events.
