Environmental

Doing business in Florida means complying with federal and state environmental laws enacted to protect the state's quality of life. With years of experience in environmental law, Mateer Harbert has worked extensively with government agencies at the state and national level. The firm's background in this critical practice area includes counseling clients about pollution prevention, hazardous and solid waste generation and disposal, environmental provisions in real estate transactions, storage tank liability, storm water regulations and environmental assessments.

Our environmental law attorneys have represented property owners and other clients in the enforcement of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), and negotiating consent orders that resulted in minimizing liability to the clients. The firm has advised clients about a range of regulations, including the Federal Clear Air Act, and the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
