Permit Challenges

Davis & Whitlock handles challenges to environmental permits for industrial facilities, solid and hazardous waste facilities, pipelines, and land developments. Through the years we have defeated permits for numerous industrial facilities and solid and hazardous waste landfills and incinerators on behalf of affected communities and citizen groups. Permit challenges include water (NPDES), air (NSR, PSD, construction and operating), solid and hazardous waste (RCRA), and wetlands dredge and fill (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Section 404), and the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We help guide citizen participation in the permit process, work with geologists, environmental engineers, toxicologists and other experts to draft written comments, represent clients at public hearings, and appeal permit decisions before administrative boards and in state and federal courts.
