Navigating the wetlands permitting battle: What does it mean for Florida’s future developments? 🌿 A recent appeals court decision has stirred up significant changes in permitting authority for projects affecting wetlands. Here's what you need to know: ### Key Implications: - **Permitting Authority Shift**: The ruling blocks Florida from managing its wetlands permitting, reverting the authority back to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. - **Regulatory Impact**: Over 1,000 pending permit applications are now in regulatory limbo, impacting developers and state regulators. - **Environmental Protection**: The shift aims to ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act, protecting at-risk species from potential harm. ### What’s Next: - **Business and Environmental Tensions**: Business groups express concerns about delays and economic impact, while environmental groups stress the importance of proper species protection. - **Future Developments**: Developers must navigate a more complex permitting process, potentially facing longer approval times and higher costs. As we move forward, balancing development needs with environmental stewardship will be more crucial than ever. #EnvironmentalLaw #RealEstate #WetlandsPermitting #FloridaDevelopments #SustainableDevelopment

🌿 Wetland Value Assessments 2024 🌿 Every summer, the CWPPRA Environmental Work Group (EnvWG) conducts Wetland Value Assessments (WVAs) across Louisiana. These assessments evaluate the potential environmental benefits—such as wetlands created, protected, enhanced, or restored—for various candidate projects seeking Phase I funding. WVAs assist in identifying and prioritizing effective coastal restoration projects! In June, CWPPRA Outreach and I had the opportunity to accompany coastal scientists and partners in Cameron Parish to assess proposed projects such as the Grand Chenier Marsh Creation (NRCS/NOAA) and the Gulf Shoreline Protection Project (USFWS). Water depths, plant coverage, and salinity were measured to assess the potential impact and benefits of these candidate projects. 📏🌿💧 ✅ Special thanks to everyone involved in restoring Louisiana's coast! 💚 Here is a video I made to share the important work being done and to capture the evaluation process. Learn more about Wetland Value Assessments at LAcoast.gov! #CWPPRA #CoastalRestoration #WetlandConservation #Sustainability #LouisianaCoast #Wetlands #Conservation #EnvironmentalScience #EnvironmentalAwareness

On the second floor of a school building in Jamaica, Queens, New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection hosted a flood kit giveaway. It was a Tuesday evening in late July, just a couple weeks before the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. Beth DeFalco, the department’s deputy commissioner for public affairs, gave a speech to the community about how to use the flood kits, and to explain what climate change impacts the agency expects on their neighborhood, now and in the future. This area of Queens suffers from consistent groundwater flooding because the water table is particularly high. This means that water rises through the soil and rock, invading residents’ homes. “I know personally how scary it is to watch water come into your house and not know what to do, or how much is coming,” said DeFalco. Explore the latest news about what’s at stake for the climate during this election season. <!-- /.content-holder --> <!-- /.icn-call-out-block --> DeFalco herself lives in Red Hook and experiences flooding, especially in her basement. Every item the department distributed that evening, she has used in her own home to mitigate flooding. But ultimately, these kits are a Band-Aid for a larger problem: Climate change is causing more instances of extreme rainfall and large weather events. Though these flood kits may effectively limit the amount of water entering someone’s home during an average storm, they cannot protect residents from worse conditions, like a hurricane. Beth DeFalco, deputy commissioner for public affairs at New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection “This isn’t going to help in an Ida storm, this isn’t going to help in Sandy. In fact, nothing’s going to help in Sandy,” said DeFalco, referring to hurricanes from 2021 and 2012. “There’s nothing that we’re giving you tonight, and there’s none of the sewer upgrades that we’re doing, that’s going to help in Sandy.” That is the job of the larger, long-term infrastructure projects proposed by city departments and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In the past decade, the city and the Army Corps have designed and implemented a number of long-term plans, big and small, aimed at reducing the chance of flooding in certain areas, increasing the number of green jobs and limiting pollution in the waterways. But scholars and environmental justice communities lament the often-slow rollout of these plans, and the ways in which local input rarely translates into implementation. These plans, they argue, would be more effective and better suited to their location if residents had more say in the design. Government officials are just beginning to listen.

Environmentalists warn extending seaway openings through winter can create hazardous conditions for the St. Lawrence waterway. Icy and rough waters are dangerous for navigation, and the potential for cargo spillage is cause for environmental concern. "There’s very little technology or experience in collecting any of the chemicals or the oil that spilled in icing conditions... And if those chemicals or if the oil were to get underneath ice on the shorelines, they could stay there all winter and it could be an even bigger mess in the spring, " says Save The River / Upper St. Lawrence Riverkeeper Executive Director John Peach. Here’s an example of a clear market need for innovative solutions to protect the Great Lakes from chemical/oil spillage through all seasons. Isabella Colello discusses the implications of the St. Lawrence waterway closure via WWTI ABC50 & The North Country CW here:

Today, I attended a meeting to discuss the legislative options to protect Colorado's wetlands and seasonal streams with Speaker McCluskie and a room packed full of stakeholders at the Colorado Capitol hosted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CPDHE). It was clear that there were many voices left unheard, but I am confident that the CPDHE is engaging and pursuing coordination with stakeholders across the board. Although no dates were set for next steps or drafting rule or statute language, they shared the following document to clarify Colorado's options being explored: https://lnkd.in/gcZVEYpk The document provides information on the scope of each program being explored; the pros and cons of each; potential exclusions and inclusions of types of waters that would or would not require permitting; exempted activities; specific permit regulations; and identification of potentially required mitigation, cultural resource evaluations, and threatened and endangered species assessments. There is a lot more work to be done here to prepare for legislation and rulemaking. If you feel like you didn't have your voice heard or want to be involved, sign up below and let's discuss! https://lnkd.in/gPbMKteW
