Duties Description The Principal Economist will be responsible for providing economic expertise at a policy setting level to the Department's Office of General Counsel and the Executive Office on an expansive range of issues which are of significant importance to the Department's goals. The Principal Economist will serve as the point of contact in the Office of General Counsel for authoritative professional advice to management on economic matters arising from enforcement, regulatory, and other legal activities carried out by the Office. This position will be a “high profile” position with the Department, as the Governor’s Office and the DEC Commissioner have recently renewed the State’s commitment to pursue natural resource damages (NRD) in a comprehensive and consistent way, including assessing natural resource damages at the Grumman Groundwater Plume on Long Island. NRD claims are extremely complex due to the fact that they must identify and quantify injuries to natural resources and then value the associated economic losses. The Principal Economist will be responsible for conducting financial and economic analyses as requested by the Commissioner, Executive staff, staff in OGC and program staff. Types of analyses include the identification, screening, development, presentation, litigation and/or settlement of natural resource damage claims arising out of releases of hazardous substances or petroleum by responsible parties, as well as ability to pay analyses, cost recovery, and fund management activities.
