The Environmental Quarterly

• The Environmental Quarterly, Volume 3, Issue 1
  Dear Environmental Colleague: Happy 2007! We are kicking off the year with a feature article by guest author, Matt Fuller from the Illinois Division Office that reviews the IL MSAT peer exchange. We’ll also explore American Indian best practices in an article penned by our very own Stephanie Stoermer. As always, we welcome your story ideas and submissions. On behalf of the Environment Technical Service Team, I wish you the very best 2007 possible. Sincerely, Don Cote Environment Technical Service Team (TST) Leader & Editor–in-Chief
  
• The Environmental Quarterly, Volume 2, Issue 4
  Dear Environmental Colleague: Fall is upon us and Daylight Saving Time will end soon (October 29). Next year, DST will be a month longer – thanks to the Energy Policy Act of 2005. I like to think you’ll use the extra hour you’ll get back from the return to Standard Time to read Environmental Quarterly. In this edition, we introduce a new tool for Indirect Effects Analysis (IEA) and Cumulative Effects Analysis (CEA) and share some photos in the Wetlands Scanning Tour results announcement. As always, we welcome your story ideas and submissions. Sincerely, Don Cote Environment Technical Service Team (TST) Leader & Editor–in-Chief
  
• The Environmental Quarterly, Volume 2, Issue 3
  Dear Environmental Colleague: I was pleased to have the opportunity to interact with many of you during the recent National Environmental Conference in Arlington, VA. A lot of good information was shared -- information that we look forward to bringing to the environmental community as a whole. This issue is a bit sad, as it marks the retirement of one of our own -- Jerry Barkdoll. Good luck and congratulations, Jerry. We wish you all the best. Don Cote
