    Big Changes for Small Wetlands: NYSDEC's New Regulations Explained

    Complimentary Webinar

    Wednesday, March 26 at 1-2pm Eastern

    Presenters: Ahlia Bethea & Michael S. Bogin of Sive, Paget & Riesel and Rachel Henke & Kathryn Sommo of Roux

    On December 31, 2024, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) finalized revisions to its freshwater wetlands regulations under 6 NYCRR Part 664, which significantly expanded the scope of state jurisdiction. These changes, which took effect on January 1, 2025, stem from legislative amendments to the State's Freshwater Wetlands Act (FWA) and are expected to bring an estimated one million acres of previously unregulated wetlands under NYSDEC oversight.

    Join our panel of legal and technical experts for an in-depth discussion of these regulatory changes and their implications for property owners, developers, and environmental professionals based in New York City and Long Island.
     
    This webinar will provide valuable insights into navigating the revised regulations, understanding permitting requirements, and preparing for compliance under the new framework.
