Webinars

    2019
  • Cultural Resources Compliance Activities (2 May)
    This webinar, presented by Nancy J. Brighton (Cultural Resources Sub CoP Lead and Deputy Federal Preservation Officer), provided an overview of Planning Bulletin 2018-01, with a focus on the timing of cultural resources compliance activities. The presentation walked through each of the bulletins decision points and product milestones, and discussed what cultural resources efforts should be done at each point.

    2018
  • Recent Environmental Streamlining and Risk-Informed Decision Making (One Federal Decision) (1 November)
    Ms. Lauren Diaz (HQ OWPR), with the support of the other environmental reviewers within the Office of Water Project Review (Mr. Mark Matusiak, Ms. Evie Haberer, Mr. Jeff Trulick, and Ms. Julie Alcon), provided an overview of recent initiatives focused on timely environmental compliance, including Executive Order 13807 on "One Federal Decision" and Section 1005 of WRRDA 2014. The webinar tied these initiatives together in the context of risk-informed decision making within the environmental discipline, so that environmental compliance can be conducted in a timely manner and fully integrated into a 3x3 compliant study.
