Remediation & Cost Recovery| Some remediation is mandatory; some is voluntary. Various environmental regulatory programs provide a framework for performing corrective action. We have assisted clients in remediation projects arising out of leaks, spills and other emergency releases, historical conditions, due diligence findings, and offsite sources and have worked with state, federal and local regulatory agencies under a variety of cleanup programs ranging from federal Superfund, RCRA, and the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act to the Texas Voluntary Cleanup and the Innocent Owner Programs. Cost recovery actions, whether initiated by the government or private parties or both, are commonly associated with cleanups. We have represented clients in contamination and cost litigation recovery in both federal and state courts, including appeals to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Texas Supreme Court, and in defense of administrative claims. Whether the tasks involve framing the proper remedy or allocating its costs, our attorneys can bring their valuable experience to bear on your particular concerns. |
