New California Guidance on Environmental Impacts
and Mitigation
On June 19, 2008, the California Governor's Office
of Planning and Research released a Technical Advisory
explaining how impacts and mitigation measures from
climate change and "greenhouse gas" emissions should
be addressed in environmental impact reports prepared
for residential, commercial and industrial development
and other projects under the California Environmental
Quality Act. This guidance will likely influence
environmental impact analyses prepared under the
National Environmental Policy Act and similar state
statutes.
June 4, 2008 NC DENR Migration of Sites to
Inactive Sites Branch The NC DENR continues to
request responsible parties formerly regulated by the
Division of Water Quality submit a Site Cleanup
Questionnaire to the Division of Waste Management,
Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch, and volunteer for the
Registered Environmental Consultant Program. If
the RP declines to enter the REC program, NC DENR
indicates the site will be ranked and placed on the
state priority list. Only those sites with a
high priority ranking (such as impacted drinking water
wells) will be regulated under the direct oversight of
DENR. Sites not under direct DENR oversight nor
in the REC program will not be under any state
approvable regulatory oversight. |
