Our Air Quality team counsels and represents clients on a variety of matters involving air quality including permitting, rulemaking, enforcement, and litigation.
Clients turn to us for representation before the Environmental Protection Agency, California Air Resources Board, and California’s regional air pollution control districts and air quality management districts including, among others, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and the Santa Barbara Air Pollution Control District.
We collaborate closely with both clients and regulatory agencies to resolve Notices of Violation (NOVs) and Notices to Comply (NTC), including negotiating reduced penalties and modified permit conditions as part of settlement agreements.
We often go to air district Hearing Board hearings to secure variances from rules and permit requirements for our clients, and we also handle abatement actions, enforcement proceedings, and litigated matters in state and federal courts.
We also represent clients in connection with rulemaking and administrative advocacy as well as trading and acquisition of emissions credits, allowances, and offsets.
For more information, please contact Noah Perch-Ahern and Sedina Banks.
