ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY, AND RESOURCES SEMINAR, 3 CLE (9:00 am-12:15 pm HST)
PFAS Spotlight: (1) Hawaii Department of Health Statewide PFAS Study and Upcoming Regulatory Requirements (2) Under the Radar PFAS Environmental Vulnerabilities – Consequences on Real Estate Transactions, Construction Projects, etc.
Moderator:
Frank Cioffi, Attorney, Square One Legal LLLC
Speakers:
(1) Mr. Melvin Tokuda, Hawaii Department of Health, Environmental Management Division, Safe Drinking Water Branch; (2) Dr. Janet K. Anderson, DABT Principal Toxicologist, GSI Environmental Inc., Austin, TX
(1) The Hawaii Department of Health conducted a Statewide Study to determine whether PFAS is in our drinking water sources. Mr. Tokuda will present the results of this study and explain some of the upcoming regulatory requirements.
(2) Within the dynamic and uncertain landscape of PFAS environmental regulations, priority has rightfully been on locations of high volume PFAS releases and potential exposures to humans through drinking water and/or biota consumption. However, as more state and federal regulations are passed requiring sampling for and addressing PFAS at detection limits, many other environmental matters are coming to light. This presentation will address the challenges associated with including PFAS in Phase I Site Assessments, property redevelopment and/or real estate transactions, and large construction projects.
The Energy Transition, the IRA, and Environmental Law
Moderator:
Frank Cioffi, Attorney, Square One Legal LLLC
Speakers:
Emily Orler, Esq. Attorney, Arnold & Porter, Washington, D.C. & Ethan Shenkman, Esq., Attorney, Arnold & Porter, Washington, D.C.
Reaching net zero carbon emissions will require a fundamental transformation of the global energy system, including the development of a wide range of clean energy technologies at scale and major changes to the energy infrastructure necessary to support them. This session will address how the landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is designed to boost a diverse array of clean energy technologies and make these technologies more competitive economically. This session will also address the critical role that environmental lawyers have to play in creating the new legal frameworks necessary to implement the IRA and facilitate the energy transition—from permitting reform, to land use regulation, to critical minerals, and to other supply chain challenges.
Developer Community Engagements: The Legal Ethics of Getting Buy In
Co-Moderators:
Dave Morris, Attorney, Law Office of J. Lootens, PC & David Raatz, Attorney at Law
Speaker:
Ryan Little, Esq., Attorney, Klinedinst PC
Now, more than ever, community buy-in is essential to the approval and success of a development project. However, as communities have become more conscious of the built environment, that buy-in is hard to obtain. Developers (and their lawyers) have increasingly turned to community engagement to overcome this obstacle—but what are the ethics of community engagement from the developer's perspective? And, for that matter, from the community's perspective? Join us to get practical advice for avoiding the ethical pitfalls inherent in the community engagement process.
(Note: Schedule subject to change. Program adjustments may be made.)
