In fall 2007, Wetlands Solutions, LLC presented two Wetlands
Symposiums. In addition to the annual Coast Symposium, a Symposium
was held in Hattiesburg to provide wetlands education for those north
of the coastal areas. The purpose of the symposiums were to equip
real estate professionals, developers, engineers, appraisers, attorneys,
state and local government officials with applicable knowledge and
competency on current wetlands and development related issues. Continuing
Education credit was offered for realtors, appraisers, engineers and
attorneys.
At each symposium, panelists including a Corps Project Manager, an
attorney, an environmental consultant, an engineer and a wetlands
mitigation expert offered licensees an array of wetlands perspectives.
Topics discussed were permitting guidelines and timeframes, working
with wetlands in site development, the Supreme Court decision in Rapanos
and wetlands mitigation options and costs. The annual symposiums are
an opportunity for professionals to become more competent regarding
wetlands laws and their affects on the real estate and development
industries and in turn increase their effectiveness in representing
the best interests of their clients.
If you would like to receive information about future symposiums,
