Numerous environmental laws and requirements impact the daily operations of businesses. Existing businesses must be aware of all the permitting, reporting, record keeping and other requirements that pertain to their businesses. We can advise you with regard to environmental audits and internal investigations that more effectively assess your current compliance status. By providing proactive counseling, we can help identify issues before they develop into more significant environmental liabilities.

If a business is planning to build a new commercial, industrial or residential development, it must understand all of its permitting obligations prior to initiating construction. Entities must understand storm water construction, wetland, water discharge and air permitting requirements. An early understanding of these obligations can ensure development of appropriate construction schedules and minimize exposure to government enforcement actions. Our attorneys can assist in identifying permitting obligations and can engage with government regulators to garner workable permit conditions in a more efficient manner.
