ENVR 5350 Environmental Planning and Permitting

This course reviews concepts, approaches, and techniques to environmental planning and the necessary procedures to prepare local, state, and federal environmental permits under SEPA and NEPA guidelines. Students will become familiarized with the environmental permit planning, process, and application as applied to urban land and coastal development. The basics of environmental project management will be integrated into the permit assignments of this course. Students will gather information from local sites following mock proposed development scenarios to practice submitting permits to the EPA, ACOE, and USFWS in addition to other agencies. Skills and practice permits include, but are not limited to, site plan review, SWPPP, NPDES, MS4, CWA Section 401 and 404, and EIA. Students completing this class are encouraged to use their knowledge and skills to seek state or national certification in these areas.
