In this episode, Ryan, Brett, Jeff, and Pat get together and talk about the Environmental Permitting Summer School in Marco Island, now in its 38th year. They talk tips for a better time while you’re there, such as some breakout sessions that are anticipated to be particularly interesting, and some nearby restaurants worth checking out. They also discuss Florida’s budget; the statewide stormwater rule ratification; and legal wrangling around ‘waters of the United States.’
