Solid & Hazardous Waste

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.
