Socal Environmental Resources Training was developed to provide guidance on federal and California aquatic resource regulations through a series of ½-day and full-day workshops. All workshops will be held in our Point Loma office training room overlooking Famosa Slough (a famous aquatic resource!).
Topics will include:
• Regulatory Permitting Background And Basics
• Permit Application Submittal Preparation
• Compensatory Mitigation Requirements And Processes
• Jurisdictional Delineations And Determinations
• And Related Topics
Socal Environmental Resource Training aims to provide valuable, one-of-a-kind, and focused training to anyone interested in getting into the weeds of aquatic resource regulations and associated permitting, beyond what can be provided in short webinars and more regionally focused than what can be provided in national trainings. Our team has spared no time, effort, or resources to create our workshop materials. We have been actively developing the Regulatory Training Program since 2019, in close coordination with our extensive network of environmental professionals and federal and state regulators, with a goal of expanding our day-to-day, project-specific consulting expertise to providing workshops and trainings on what is often considered the most challenging part of environmental consulting: regulatory permitting. Our training program is the first of its kind in Southern California.
a better understanding of federal and state aquatic resource regulations and permitting procedures, and to provide pertinent and up-to-date information on federal and state aquatic resources regulations and processes. As a secondary goal, Shanti hopes this training program will prevent her from ever running out of interested people with whom she can discuss aquatic resource regulations!
