Melissa B. Papke Varnum Riddering Schmidt Howlett LLPPO Box 352 Grand Rapids, MI 49501 Phone: (616) 336-6425 Fax: (616) 336-7000 E-mail: mbpapke@varnumlaw.com The Environmental and Energy Law Committee maintains an active liaison
relationship with the Environmental Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan. The
fundamental objective of the committee is to ensure that members of the Real
Property Section receive timely updates of recent developments in state and
federal environmental statutes, regulations, and judicial opinions that impact real
estate. To meet this objective, the committee has recruited Review articles
not only from members of the Real Property Law Section but also from members of
the Environmental Law Section. Examples of article topics include brownfield
development, Great Lakes shoreline maintenance, wetland regulation, mold
contamination in residential structures, and the "all appropriate inquiry" federal
rules. The committee has also co-sponsored seminars and programs with the ELS on topics of mutual interest. During the next year, the committee hopes to
broaden the scope of the topics it covers to include programs in the area of
Michigan energy, mining and timber laws as well as conservation easements. |
