As air quality and climate change concerns grow, both public and private entities face heightened scrutiny, evolving regulations and an increasing number of challenges to projects that impact air quality.
Best Best & Krieger LLP’s Environmental Law & Natural Resources practice group is a leader in the field. We help public entities and private businesses devise strategies to minimize liability exposure, and advocate their interests before regulatory bodies and in courts at all levels. We also provide strategic guidance to clients, helping them leverage business opportunities while complying with the complex array of federal, state and local air quality regulatory requirements.
Our attorneys have extensive experience representing air quality regulators like the Mojave Desert, Antelope Valley and South Coast air quality management districts. We assisted them in developing air quality and climate change management rules and plans that serve as blueprints for future rules necessary to assure compliance with federal and state clean air standards. Our work in this regard has given us an insider’s perspective, making us particularly qualified to offer comprehensive, common-sense advice on air quality rules, their applications and their implications.
Further, we assist clients in obtaining required permits, exemptions and variances from emission restrictions, and advocate for them before the Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board and California’s various regional air quality management and air pollution control districts, and in rulemaking and administrative proceedings. We also assist with corrective actions and implementing remediation plans.
Combining public law experience, regulatory knowledge and litigation skill, we advise, advocate for and defend our clients regarding all air quality issues before these and other regulatory bodies, as well as handle enforcement actions, regulatory proceedings, insurance-recovery and indemnification litigation, citizens’ suits and challenges brought by environmental groups.
