Peggy Otum, Partner and Co-Chair of the Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Practice, will be participating in a panel discussion at the Environmental Council of the States' 2025 Fall Meeting in Santa Fe. The panel, titled "The State of State Compliance & Enforcement," is scheduled to take place on September 4, 2025, from 11:35 a.m. to 12:25 p.m.
As state agencies navigate changes at the federal level, the panel aims to discuss ways to strengthen compliance and enforcement efforts through innovative approaches and technologies. The discussion is expected to cover a range of topics, including the reaffirmation and expansion of state environmental justice (EJ) programs, enhanced environmental auditing programs, leveraging data mining and transparency technologies, and emphasizing cyclical enforcement risk awareness and proactive compliance planning.
The panel may offer insights into current compliance and enforcement strategies in various states, as well as suggestions for the use of innovative technologies to improve compliance and enforcement. More details about the panel can be found at the specified event.
The focus on auditing, data mining, and independent EJ program strengthening stands out as key strategic themes in the panel. While no specific emerging technologies such as AI or remote sensing have been mentioned, the use of innovative technologies to improve compliance and enforcement is a likely topic of discussion.
Attendees of the panel will have the opportunity to learn about the latest strategies and technologies being employed by state regulatory programs to bolster compliance and enforcement amid federal-level changes. Peggy Otum, an expert in the Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Practice, is well-positioned to provide valuable insights and perspectives during the discussion.
