GUIDING YOU THROUGH THE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY PROCESS

Very few law firms in the Hudson Valley region combine knowledge of the local economy and environment with the depth of experience needed to effectively guide clients seeking environmental permits and approvals through the maze of state and federal regulations.

At Whitbeck Benedict & Smith LLP, our team of experienced attorneys is available to help local, national and international clients pursue their permitting and regulatory compliance goals. We encourage you to contact us to learn more about the services we provide.

PURSUING THE PERMITS YOU NEED TO DO BUSINESS

Before you can initiate virtually any industrial or commercial project in New York state, you will need to obtain environmental permits from the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and/or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and possibly other local, state and federal agencies.

At Whitbeck Benedict & Smith LLP, our knowledgeable environmental law attorneys help companies involved in commerce, manufacturing, mining and other industries pursue permits such as:

  • Air emissions permits
  • Water discharge permits
  • Solid waste facility permits
  • Hazardous waste facility permits
  • Mining permits

We work with our clients' engineering teams and other professionals to pursue and document regulatory compliance in areas such as discharges and emissions. We also represent clients whose permits are being challenged by neighbors, competitors, outsiders and other parties.

REPRESENTING MUNICIPALITIES AND PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

In addition to representing private companies, our experienced environmental and municipal law attorneys also represent municipalities and public authorities seeking to carry out landfill closures and other projects that require environmental regulatory compliance.
