Environmental
The strategic use of natural resources and responsible growth places environmental law at the forefront of business and development concerns surrounding the development of the Marcellus Shale and other significant shale plays.
Blank Rome’s nationally-recognized environmental practice provides counsel to clients in every major business sector, including energy, manufacturing, real estate, commercial development, public and private finance and investment, healthcare and transportation. We are strategically positioned to represent companies involved in the development and production of Marcellus Shale in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Our firm has assisted companies involved in the development of the Marcellus Shale and other significant shale plays as well as companies seeking to participate or obtain meaningful investments in theses plays.
Blank Rome attorneys have been actively monitoring the environmental debate associated with the development of Marcellus Shale and other significant shale plays, and how this development interfaces with the goals of environmental protection and compliance with environmental laws. We counsel clients in connection with the significant environmental issues arising from exploration and production activities associated with shale development including: allocation of water resources, wastewater and stormwater permitting and management, erosion and sedimentation controls, and groundwater contamination. Given our extensive representation of clients in Superfund and response action litigation in both state and federal Courts, our attorneys have a comprehensive understanding of the technical, factual, and legal considerations that must be evaluated and analyzed in preparing to defend against environmental claims, including groundwater contamination claims.
In that regard, we have unparalleled experience negotiating, settling, or litigating claims with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), state and regional offices of the EPA, and with every state’s environmental protection agencies.
