A permit or license is the centerpiece of most environmental programs. Without it, a business, farm, or local government may not be allowed to construct or operate its facility. Unreasonable permit terms may cause costs to skyrocket or make compliance impractical. If the permit’s language is difficult to interpret, the permitee may not even realize the permit is being violated. In any of these situations, a farm, business, or local government may lose its authorization to operate the facilities or may be subject to lawsuits, penalties, or even imprisonment.
We help our clients with these situations. We assist them in obtaining permits, negotiating reasonable terms, and interpreting the requirements. If they are targeted for enforcement, we defend them.
