| Practice Groups | |
The Rhoads & Sinon Environmental Law & Litigation Group is one of our firm's larger practice groups. Over the years, the Environmental Group has represented numerous commercial entities, individuals, municipalities and municipal authorities in regards to environmental law. Our representation is diverse and includes counseling public and private organizations and companies on compliance and permitting issues, as well as litigation. We have successfully litigated numerous issues of first impression before both state and federal courts, and before the Environmental Hearing Board, and have represented clients in civil rights, trade secret and disappointed bidder matters. In addition, although the Environmental Group has achieved success on behalf of its clients in many high-profile cases before, federal, state, local and administrative bodies, we pride ourselves in our ability to work cooperatively with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) or negotiate with others so as to resolve environmental issues in a cost-effective and responsible manner and thereby minimize litigation. The Environmental Group also is a leader in the field of environmental remediation, having counseled clients, whether developers or municipal entities, through the process of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2) and helping to secure the liability protection offered by Act 2. We have successfully obtained such protection for numerous clients, including the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority, who purchased and remediated the Harrisburg International Airport and, currently, the Capital City Airport. In addition, we have vast experience in counseling clients and negotiating with DEP in matters concerning the closure of storage tanks and remedial efforts associated therewith, experience with the Underground Storage Tank Indemnification Fund, and development of contaminated sites for productive reuse. The attorneys that practice in the Environmental Law and Litigation Practice Group are also experienced regarding issues of toxic mold. You can learn more about that experience at our Toxic Mold web page. We have extensive experience in virtually all environmental areas, including:
