  • NEPA Update with Fred Wagner

    What an amazing discussion. The insight of what is going on in the environmental regulatory space coupled with the why is so critical for NEPA practitioners. Looking forward to having Fred back on, and I think it might be fairly frequently based upon the anticipated changes by the Biden administration. Thanks all!
