Please join REBA’s Environmental and Renewable Energy Law Section and Land Use and Zoning Section for a webinar program at 12 noon on Thursday, April 13th. Jonathan P. Higgins, C.P.G., LSP, Principal Earth Scientist at Higgins Environmental Associates, Inc., Jonathan D. Kitchen, LSP, P.G., Principal, Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc., and Joseph V. Polsinello, LSP, Principal, Inland Professional Corporation, will present. They know G.L. chapter 21E (the MA Superfund law), the MA Contingency Plan (MassDEP’s 21E regulations), the related practices and policies of MassDEP, and how to best serve your clients.
Their topic is the role of the environmental professional, specifically working for you and your clients in the rapidly changing landscape of the chemical compounds collectively known as PFAS. U.S. EPA is adding these compounds as Hazardous Substances under Superfund, imposing PFAS reporting obligations under water law and emergency management law, and lowering the PFAS response action levels for facilities and properties.
Likewise, MassDEP is changing its policies and reporting obligations and thresholds, and is making formal inquiries and issuing requirements for PFAS being found ubiquitous in public and private water systems and groundwater.
This program is open to all REBA members, as PFAS, termed the new “forever chemicals” can affect the clients of any commercial or residential lawyers specializing in real estate transactions, titles, permits, or litigation. This is not your Chamber of Commerce awareness seminar on PFAS. It is for leading real estate attorneys to advise and represent their clients properly and well.
This webcast program, open to all REBA members, is from 12 to 1:30 pm on Thursday, April 13, 2023.
To register, RSVP to Nicole Cohen at cohen@reba.net.
