Bricker & Eckler’s hallmark in the environmental area is our knowledge, experience and relationship with environmental regulators, from the Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) to the staff permitting personnel in the field. Because we have a thorough understanding of this multifaceted, complex area of law, we have established a high level of credibility, and work diligently to maintain it, with both the Ohio EPA and U.S. EPA, the governmental enforcement personnel (the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Department of Justice), and our colleagues within the Ohio environmental bar. This credibility is transferred to our clients so they can achieve their goals when confronted with environmental challenges.
Our environmental services include work on the following:
Agreements related to site access, property clean-up and property redevelopment
Siting and permitting of environmentally sensitive facilities
Compliance counseling for state and federal regulations
Environmental installation and operation permits (e.g. air emissions and wastewater discharge)
