Description
I will give a whirlwind tour of Pennsylvania's environmental history - from Native Americans to present. The focus will be how humans have impacted the environment and how laws and programs evolved to address those impacts. I will explain the regulatory focus of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for point source pollution and how that focus has recently been modified to address non-point source pollution. I will also describe the Watershed Initiative and its place in environmental protection.
