ENVS 456 - U.S. and Washington State Environmental Regulations

This course will provide both a survey and applications of major U.S. and Washington state environmental regulations. Students will survey the complex layers of environmental regulation, peel them apart, and then provide a critical narration of those that apply to a major regional environmental issue. The course’s dual focus on content and process is accomplished by dividing the class sessions roughly equally between the study of the readings (which is primarily lecture based) and the examination of the case studies and important research in the field of regulation (which is mostly discussion based).
