Black & Veatch 60 Minute Engagement Break - Regulatory Initiatives/Trends in Florida – Is Your State Next?
In the past several years, Florida has implemented numerous water initiatives that are changing the regulatory landscape in the state. Although unique to Florida, these new rules will likely influence the development of similar regulations in other regions. Black & Veatch and Taylor Engineering delve into the impact of these recent initiatives, including House Bill 53 – Public Works, Senate Bill 64 – Reclaimed Water, and SLIP (Sea Level Impact Projection), and discuss what they could mean for your state. Speakers: Jo Ann Jackson, One Water National Practice Leader; Jon Dinges, Senior Water Resources Planning Leader; Walt Reigner, SE Regional Director Civil Infrastructure Systems; and Dr. Angela Schedel, Taylor Engineering
