SUMMARY:2026 Environmental Compliance Navigator Conference
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Attorney Gary Steinbauer will present “Navigating the Federal–State Dynamic in Air Permitting and Enforcement: Practical Strategies and Tips for EHS Professionals” at the Environmental Compliance Navigator conference on Thursday\, March 19\, 2026. \nAir emissions permitting and enforcement actions often require facilities to navigate complex and sometimes disjointed relationships between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and delegated state or local air permitting and enforcement authorities. Differences in regulatory interpretation\, permitting timelines\, public participation requirements\, and enforcement priorities can create uncertainty and operational risk for regulated entities—particularly when permits are modified\, renewed\, or challenged and when agencies’ policy priorities conflict. \nIn this session\, Gary will explore how EPA and state air agencies interact under the Clean Air Act\, where points of friction commonly arise\, and how those challenges can impact facility operations and compliance obligations. Drawing on real-world permitting and enforcement experience\, the presentation will highlight common pitfalls EHS managers encounter in air permitting and enforcement\, including coordination issues with regulatory authorities\, evolving regulatory requirements\, and compliance vulnerabilities. \nThe session will conclude with practical strategies EHS professionals can use to better manage air permits\, communicate effectively with federal\, state\, and local regulators\, and proactively reduce air-related compliance risk. \nFor more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:PBI’s 2026 Environmental Law Forum
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI) for its 2024 Environmental Law Forum\, April 22-23\, 2026. The following attorneys will be presenters: \nDon Bluedorn – “How to Get Started with AI”\nRobert Bereschak and Don Bluedorn will discuss GenAI products for use in the legal practice\, focusing on products that are available\, how the products most effectively can be used in the legal practice\, and best practices to avoid GenAI-related pitfalls (both for lawyers using GenAI and for lawyers supervising others who are using GenAI).\n \nBen Clapp – “Buying a Business”\nThis session will provide an overview of strategies for identifying\, evaluating and mitigating potential environmental liabilities and risks arising in connection with the purchase and sale of a business and/or real property. The discussion will cover the full arc of a transaction\, commencing with the signing of a letter of intent and progressing through deal closure\, with the panel addressing CERCLA and state-equivalent statutes\, environmental due diligence considerations\, innocent landowner protections\, environmental compliance risks\, the drafting and negotiation of environmental provisions in asset purchase agreements\, environmental requirements of lenders\, and environmental insurance. The presenters will provide insights into challenges that often arise in transactions\, and approaches commonly employed by buyers and sellers to minimize their exposure to environmental risks.\n \nKevin Garber – “Planners’ Roundtable: Energy\, Exigency\, and Ethics”\nEmergencies can suspend the ordinary ways in which environmental law applies. From highway collapses to energy emergencies to national security issues\, we have been operating under what appear to be an increasing number of governmentally-declared exigencies. What are the implications for our practice on behalf of regulated clients\, governments\, and NGOs? Is there an ethical dimension to promoting or opposing an emergency suspension of the usual rules or advising clients when the facts are contested?\n \nAnna Jewart (presenter) and Blaine Lucas (moderator) – “Land Use and Zoning”\nDevelopment in Pennsylvania\, including most projects involving environmental issues\, is governed by the Municipalities Planning Code and local zoning and other land use ordinances. The application of local land use ordinances frequently involves their interplay with state and federal law. This session will review significant land use cases decided over the last year in Pennsylvania\, with a focus on review standards\, standing requirements\, preemption doctrine\, and constitutional law. This session will also examine ordinance trends regarding traditional energy sources\, renewables\, and data centers. This area of the law is continually evolving\, and this session is designed to better understand how zoning and land use ordinances could impact your next project.\n \nKevin Garber also served as a member of the planning team for this Forum.
