Natural Resources
Damage Assessment (NRDA) |
|
In recent years, there has been an effort by
regulators and trustees to encourage the integration of Natural Resource Damage
concerns into the site cleanup process, as opposed to addressing Natural Resource Damage
Assessment separately after remedy implementation. This short
course will address key issues in this process. |
