Welcome to EcoZone
Welcome to the Andrews Kurth EcoZone blog. We trust you will find our posted resources of periodic benefit. We also hope you will participate with us, providing insight about environmental trends and issues. Our blog has four essential sections: Rulemaking Alerts, Oil & Gas Toolkit, General Environmental, and Climate Change. In the Rulemaking Alerts, we will highlight selected rulemakings. If you see something you would like included, please let us know by leaving a comment. We would like to hear from you.
The Oil & Gas Toolkit is a simple repository, consisting of agency documentation and our Andrews Kurth Oil & Gas Environmental Manual. Some of our agency documentation is historic, and very hard to find nowadays. The General Environment category includes the kitchen sink—whatever strikes our fancy. The Climate Change category will feature rulemakings and briefings, as well as our extensive Andrews Kurth Climate Change Outline—a thoroughly documented outline of rulemaking and policy matters.
So, thanks for joining us.
The Andrews Kurth Environmental Team
