and Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. Includes studies of
Cradle-to-Grave management, waste minimization, permits, land disposal
restrictions, and waste stream audits, through case studies and
research projects. This course is offered every fall semester.

but not limited to, Brownfield Assessment, land use planning for
urban environments, NEPAEA (National Environmental Policy Act Environmental
Assessment) and EIS (Environmental Impact Statement), CERCLA (Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation Liability Act) and natural resource
land use planning. This course is designed as a capstone course
and as such should be taken after all other ENM courses have been
