Abstract Details

2013, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
The complexity of environmental regulation has created a need for experts in the environmental field to help those who are subject to environmental laws meet ever more rigorous standards and maintain compliance. Private environmental consultants are professionals who must be knowledgeable about environmental science and familiar with the regulatory process in order to bridge the gap between regulation and reality. This report discusses the role of an environmental consultant conducting work related to the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for both private and public clients. Other topics discussed are the subjectivity inherent in assessment of natural resources and the need for experience, the existence of ethical dilemmas, and the appropriateness of advocacy in the environmental consulting field. Several case studies are included that describe specific projects completed during the internship.
