• Administrative Procedure Act challenges to agency rules;

• Toxic Substances Control Act; and

• Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.

He has represented domestic and international corporations in a variety of industries, as well as individuals, governments, and trade associations in most environmental contexts, including:

• Appellate and district-court challenges to agency rulemakings;

• Agency and citizen enforcement of NSR/PSD, NSPS, NESHAP, NPDES, POTW, TSCA, FIFRA, OSHA, and SARA Title III regulations;

• Preparation of facility banking/permitting applications under NSR/PSD, Title V, and solid waste regulations;

• Project siting and approval under NEPA, related federal/state laws, and transportation/general conformity;

• Approval of air quality implementation plans and re designation of Clean Air Act non-attainment areas; and
