Solid & Hazardous Waste

We have considerable experience in the regulation of hazardous wastes generated in the oil and gas, mining, and manufacturing industries that are regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). We are intimately familiar with the scope and limitations of the “E&P” and “Bevill” exemptions under RCRA and the “petroleum exclusion” under CERCLA.

All of our lawyers practicing in this area have counseled major oil and gas, mining, and manufacturing clients on the intricacies of compliance with solid and hazardous waste laws and regulations at their facilities across the U.S., and have worked with federal and state regulators, including oil and gas commissions, in negotiating the outcome of sites where these materials have come to be located.
