If rain, winds or storms become severe, New Yorkers and visitors should seek shelter indoors and wait for conditions to improve before traveling.

DEC ANNOUNCES VIRTUAL INFORMATION WEBINAR TO ADDRESS RECENT CHANGES TO FRESHWATER WETLANDS REGULATIONS

 

Informational Webinar Scheduled for June 23

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Amanda Lefton announced DEC is hosting a virtual information webinar titled “Changes to Freshwater Wetland Regulations” on Tuesday, June 23 at 11:00 a.m. to promote public understanding of changes in DEC’s approach to freshwater wetland protection in response to a recent court ruling. 

“This session will offer vital insights into the recent freshwater wetland regulatory updates and an overview of the jurisdictional determination process, practical examples for when to request jurisdictional determinations, and information on available freshwater wetland general permits,” Commissioner Lefton said. “I encourage anyone interested in learning more or with any questions to register and attend DEC’s informational webinar.” 

On April 8, 2026, the Albany County Supreme Court issued a decision impacting regulations governing the protection of freshwater wetlands in New York State. In response, DEC has conducted a thorough evaluation of the ruling's implications for permitting and enforcement programs related to freshwater wetlands, reaffirming our commitment to protecting the environment and the numerous benefits that wetlands provide.

Registration is required to attend the June 23 webinar. DEC encourages participants to submit questions during registration to ensure the session effectively addresses community interests. During the webinar, the audience will also have the opportunity to ask questions, provide comments, and engage with a DEC Freshwater Wetland Program Manager and Outreach Coordinator in discussion. 

To register for the webinar, please visit:?https://meetny-gov.webex.com/weblink/register/r811b75f1221e97c2b9860a5281dd5b68

For those unable to attend, a recording of the webinar will be made available on the Freshwater Wetland Jurisdictional Determination web page following the event.
