Principles of Scientific Sampling for Environmental Professionals The 20th Annual Texas Environmental Superconference This year’s theme is inspired by politics: the conference is entitled “Join the Party” and the toolkit is entitled “Digging up Dirt.” Co-sponsored by the State Bar of Texas Environmental and Natural Resources Law Section, the Air & Waste Management Association – Southwest Section, the Water Environment Association of Texas, the Texas Association of Environmental Professionals, The Auditing Roundtable, and the American Bar Association Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources, the conference routinely draws in excess of 500 attendees, from both the public and private sectors. Featured speakers this year include Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) Commissioner Bryan Shaw, Railroad Commission of Texas Chairman, Michael Williams, Carl Bauer, Director of the National Energy Technology Laboratory, and, from EPA Headquarters, Chief of Enforcement Granta Nakayama and Director of Solid Waste Matt Hale, in addition to many other distinguished representatives from TCEQ and EPA Region 6 and from the private and public sectors. Topics include air quality (“California here we come”), water quality (“Tippecanoe and Tyler too”), energy planning (“Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow”), climate change (“Change we can believe in”), Internal Investigations (“You ain’t seen nothing yet”), enforcement (“Speak softly and carry a big stick”), lobbying ethics (“The buck stops here”), and natural resource damages (“A chicken in every pot”). Other topics include: environmental and administrative case law updates, municipal sustainability initiatives, solid waste, and EPA in the Next Administration. This year we will be having a series of point-counterpoint discussions with Professors Tom McGarity of the University of Texas School of Law and Victor Flatt of the University of Houston School of Law, on a variety of intriguing topics including biofuels v. food, wind power v. birds and bats, nuclear v. carbon-based fuels, and chemical security v. confidentiality. The Wednesday evening program will discuss technical and legal topics relating to Brownfields development. Registration is available online -- at http://www.texenrls.org, where details of the conference and the Brownfields program also may be found. Although registrations must be made online, participants have the option of paying online by credit card or by mailing a check, payable to “State Bar of Texas – Texas Environmental Superconference.” Checks may be sent to: Texas Environmental Superconference, 600 Congress, Suite 1300, Austin, TX 78701.
