Speaking at the February 2018 meeting of the Mineral Lawyers Society of Oklahoma City, McAfee & Taft environmental attorney Derek Hardberger compares and contrasts the EPA’s philosophy and approach to environmental regulation under the Obama and Trump administrations and provides insights as to what the oil and gas industry can expect in the way of regulatory, policy and enforcement changes under EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. Topics include:

  • Status of BLM methane rule

  • Once In Always In policy
  • Potential impact from Trump’s back-to-basics agenda
  • New developments in environmental law
