Natural Resources Planning and ManagementThis field concerns the protection, conservation and development of our natural resources. Accomplishing this goal requires a range of knowledge and skills covering a variety issues.
There are several federal and state regulations governing the management of natural resources: the Clean Water Act (Sections 404 and 401), the Endangered Species Act (both on the federal and local levels), the U.S. Rivers and Harbors Act (Section 10), National Historic Preservation Act, the U.S. Department of Transportation Act (Section 4f), Wetland Protection and the Floodplain Executive Orders, streambed alteration agreements and mitigated negative declarations.
In order to comply with these regulations, many plans must be developed concerning such varied topics as watershed management, open space, conservation and recreation plans, habitat and species mitigation, water resource management, wetlands delineation and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plans.
