Wildlife Risk in Project Development: Planning with ESA, NEPA & Regulators in Mind

On December 15th, Brooke Marcus will present “Wildlife Risk in Project Development: Planning with ESA, NEPA & Regulators in Mind,” a BARBRI webinar. 

Federal and state wildlife protections impose considerable requirements on project developers. The Endangered Species Act (ESA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) and Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) must be carefully followed or projects face significant litigation and regulatory impact. Even absent federal funding, projects can be stopped or delayed following insufficient environmental review or mitigation plans.

Administrative policy shifts continue to reform how NEPA, ESA and other regulations apply. Developers must now show compliance and due diligence to keep on track.

Brooke will join a panel covering legal obligations, planning challenges and strategies to minimize risk during project planning across industries. Attendees will learn how developers and counsel can avoid trouble by properly structuring records, coordinating with the public and regulators and execute on strategies to exceed current requirements and avoid delays.
