NACT 334 – Permitting Practices and principles
Dates: September 29 – October 1, 2015
Maryland Department of the Environment has scheduled the NACT 334 Permitting Practices and Principles course and there may be a few additional seats available for staff members from other MARAMA member agencies. If you have anyone interested in attending, who lives outside of 50 miles from the course location, MARAMA will offer support to cover the cost of room and tax (for the nights of September 28th, 29th, and 30th ) for 1 staff member per MARAMA member agency. Supported attendees are responsible for all incidentals and travel. Please note that any staff member, who MARAMA supports for this meeting, must stay at a hotel which offers the government per diem rate or lower, not to exceed $150.00 plus tax, in order for MARAMA to provide reimbursement. If additional or alternative support is needed, pre-approval is necessary and a request must come from your agency’s Air Director (or their designee) and emailed to MARAMA’s Executive Director, Susan Wierman, as well as MARAMA’s Training Coordinators, Sue Dilli and Jackie Burkhardt, prior to the event. A list of what type of support is needed, an estimate of additional costs and the reason for the support is essential to include.
