In this episode, the Florida Specifier’s editorial board is back during the “quiet season” to discuss the September/October issue of the Specifier. Ryan gives the rundown on the Legislative Budget Request (LBR) and grants processes; Jeff gives an update on Florida’s legal wrangling with the federal government regarding Ch. 404 assumption; Brett directs readers’ attention to the federally mandated triennial water quality standards review and rulemaking at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP); and Patrick pulls it all together, and then some, to provide environmental professionals and policymakers news they can actually use.
