SUMMARY:West Virginia Underground Carbon Dioxide Sequestration & Storage Act
DESCRIPTION:Attorney Kip Power will give a presentation on the “West Virginia Underground Carbon Dioxide Sequestration & Storage Act” to the Women’s Energy Network’s West Virginia Chapter on Wednesday\, May 17\, 2023. \nIn 2022\, the West Virginia Legislature enacted the West Virginia Underground Carbon Dioxide Sequestration and Storage Act\, which became effective on May 30\, 2022. It is an important law\, designed as the beginning stages of a platform for the development of sustainable energy operations using existing natural resources in our State and to promote renewable energy projects based on emerging technologies in other areas. Federal and State developments since then have confirmed the need for such a statute and highlighted the need for further regulatory mechanisms to facilitate such projects in West Virginia. This presentation will focus on the provisions of the new law\, possible areas for refinement or expansion\, and other developments since its enactment. \nFor more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:The Newly Finalized WOTUS Definition and How it Will Affect Your Operations
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Attorney Lisa Bruderly will present “The Newly Finalized WOTUS Definition and How it Will Affect Your Operations” to members of the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation (EMLF) on Thursday\, September 21\, 2023. The U. S. Supreme Court’s Sackett v. U.S. EPA decision\, issued in May 2023\, significantly narrowed the definition of “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) and limited the scope of federally-regulated waters and wetlands. A new regulatory definition of WOTUS\, based on Sackett\, became final on September 8th. During this webinar\, Lisa will discuss the Sackett decision\, the new regulatory definition of WOTUS\, and how these developments will impact the construction of new facilities and operation/maintenance of existing facilities. She will also explore the status of existing challenges to the prior definition of WOTUS and new challenges to the most recently-finalized definition.  For more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:Who\, What\, When\, and Why of Authority Rules and Regulations
DESCRIPTION:Municipal Attorneys Betsy Dupuis and Morgan Madden will present “Who\, What\, When\, and Why of Authority Rules and Regulations” to the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Association on Wednesday\, October 15\, 2025. Most municipal authorities in the Commonwealth have some iteration of rules and regulations to govern and guide the use of equipment\, services provided\, and authority-owned facilities. Sometimes these regulations simply cover the basics including fees for tapping\, services\, etc.\, and yet other municipalities have more robust regulations that dictate\, for example\, how repairs are to be completed and who is responsible for costs associated with the same. As a general rule\, authorities should regularly review their rules and regulations and ensure that those rules and regulations are sufficient and enforceable based upon current operations and services\, and ensure both the system and the authority are protected from unauthorized actors and a constantly evolving legal and regulatory landscape. This presentation will discuss the source of municipal authorities’ authority\, the framework within which municipal authorities can and should develop rules and regulations and further discuss basics and best practices for promulgating and enforcing sensible authority rules and regulations. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nProvide an overview of the statutory and regulatory rules around authority creation and governing instruments for each authority.\nEmphasize the importance of the underlying relationship between authorities and the entities that created them.\nUnderscore the importance of understanding an authority’s infrastructure– who owns it\, who manages it and who pays when it needs replaced.\nReview best practices for how to develop internal rules and procedures for authority operations\, personnel and municipal relationships.\nDeliver tips and best practices for developing authority rules and regulations for customers and constituents.\n\nFor more information\, click here. \nBetsy Dupuis \nMorgan Madden
