Our firm has represented clients in the solid and hazardous waste management area
before all levels of government. We have represented scores of companies in such
matters before EPA Region 6 (Dallas) and the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (“TCEQ”). Over the years, our attorneys have handled solid and
hazardous waste management matters in over 20 states outside of Texas. We regularly
counsel clients regarding compliance with standards governing waste generators
and transporters, and waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. We have
negotiated dozens of administrative compliance orders across the country. Furthermore,
we have had extensive experience with compliance and enforcement issues associated
with local, state, and federal underground storage tank requirements.
Our experience with enforcement matters in the solid and hazardous waste management
area has encompassed, among other things, preparation of “Part B” hazardous
waste facility applications, compliance with operational standards for generators,
interim status facilities, and recycling operations, compliance with financial
responsibility requirements and record keeping requirements, closure of regulated
facilities, and compliance with land disposal restrictions (LDRs). We also have
compliance experience relative to medical waste management and licensing of radiological
equipment.
The firm has extensive experience in EPA’s corrective action program under
Section 3008(h) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. In fact, Mr. Guida
was the lead defendant’s counsel in the first judicial action in the nation
under that statutory provision. Additionally, Mr. Guida coordinated a national
regulatory commenting effort for a group of companies in connection with important
proposed EPA regulations governing corrective action for hazardous and solid waste
management facilities. He also has negotiated corrective action consent orders
with EPA in Region 6 and elsewhere.
Our extensive experience and success in handling solid and hazardous waste
regulatory matters have provided us with a solid knowledge and relationship base
to effectively and efficiently handle litigation involving the release of such
wastes into the environment. Our firm has successfully prosecuted and defended
lawsuits resulting from contamination of the soil and groundwater by a variety
of materials of environmental concern, including chlorinated solvents,
petroleum-based contaminants, metals, and saltwater.Please feel free to contact
any of us to discuss how we might assist you.
