“Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.” – Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner
Communities across the country are facing mounting public health and environmental concerns due to widespread contamination of and attacks on our most vital shared natural resource – water. From streams, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, through groundwater and aquifers, toxic chemicals are making their way into our drinking water sources, the land and soil.
The current state of water contamination claims is rapidly reshaping the landscape of environmental litigation, with highly complex scientific data, ever-evolving governmental regulations, and emerging threats of further contamination not yet litigated.
The program will begin with a keynote address by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Ed Potosnak, who will give a state of the union on clean water initiatives and current and future litigation and regulations. The day will continue with a series of presentations on the latest developments in clean water enforcement and permitting developments, and suggestions for best practices for prosecuting liability claims related to water contamination.
Don’t miss this practical, in-depth look at the current and future state of water law, regulation, and litigation from the state’s leaders in environmental law and governance.
