Katrina (Rita) Recovery - A series of Quick Teleconferences sponsored
by the Section and its Katrina Task Force - Environmental Law Issues
and Disaster Response. A volunteer effort to provide expertise and
resources to those working to rebuild areas devastated by hurricanes
Katrina and Rita. This series has been graciously underwritten, in
part, by ConferTel, the Section´s conference call provider so that
attorneys in affected areas can participate for FREE. These
presentations will be recorded, posted to
www.abanet.org/environ/katrina, and archived for future use.

Debris and Waste Removal - Immediate Steps


Thursday, October 6, 2005

Program Overview:
Debris, mud, dirty water, waste, leaking tanks & pipelines,
sludge...one of the most immediate response and recovery issues is the
disposal of this "waste." Rebuilding can´t take place until the
"waste" created by Katrina is removed, but how should this occur? Who
decides what kind of waste it is and where to put it? When will it get
done? Who pays for this work? What about the usual environmental
requirements? There are lessons to be learned from 9/11, Hurricane
Betsy, and last year´s Florida hurricanes.


A panel of professionals who have experience with these issues as a
result of past disasters and first responders to Katrina will discuss
practical problems left in Katrina´s wake and answer your questions.


Educational Objectives:
   To provide a forum to identify critical environmental & energy
   issues;
   To provide a forum to engage Section members to comment, discuss
   and get involved in the process;
   To provide expertise to the people dealing with the ongoing
   problems.
