Our attorneys have assisted clients in addressing permitting matters, threatened
enforcement actions, new source performance standards issues, and state implementation
plan revisions for, among others, firms in the following industries: pulp and
paper, explosives manufacturing, utility transformer assembly, paint manufacturing,
rendering, printed circuit board manufacturing, iron and steel, ceramic tile manufacturing,
printing and graphic arts, petroleum refining, specialty chemical formulation,
aerospace, dairy farming, metal fabrication, fertilizer production, and wood,
plastic, and pumpable sealant product manufacturing. In addition, we frequently
have advised clients on Prevention of Significant Deterioration/nonattainment
issues for new or modified major sources. Much of this work has been performed
before the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”).
The firm’s work in the hazardous air pollutant (“HAP”) area, including
health effects analysis and maximum achievable control technology (“MACT”)
spans several different industries. We have also assisted clients with issues
involving indoor air pollutants, including asbestos, mold, and laboratory
chemicals.
As suggested above, we have represented clients in a number of formal and informal
enforcement proceedings with regulatory agencies in the air quality control area.
In general, our enforcement experience in the air quality area has centered on
negotiation of administrative orders and consent decrees with state agencies.
It is our belief that, in numerous cases, we helped our clients achieve compliance
and avoid potentially devastating penalties. Additionally, our attorneys have
been involved in national regulatory matters relative to air quality. For example,
Mr. Guida had substantial involvement in the regulatory negotiation process associated
with EPA’s rulemaking on reformulated gasoline and oxygenated fuels pursuant
to Title III of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. We also have worked with
petroleum refining industry clients in complying with Clean Air Act requirements
for the content of conventional gasoline. We have also counseled clients on the
Clean Air Act Title V Operating Permit program and corresponding state programs.
Additionally, we have counseled clients regarding compliance with regulatory provisions
governing stratospheric ozone protection.

any of us to discuss how we might assist you.
