The firm’s attorneys also have provided corporations with advice on air permitting to meet their compliance obligations. To illustrate, Irvine & Conner attorneys have represented:
- A city suffering harms due to frequent air pollution from an adjacent smelting facility. The federal citizen suit resulted in a settlement involving repairs to damaged city property and installation of new pollution controls at the facility.
- A regional environmental organization on a clean air act citizen suit against a coal fired power plant.
- A fenceline community group in Port Arthur in their opposition to an air permit for a refinery expansion. The matter settled favorably for the client with the establishment of an innovative community enhancement fund to address environmental justice issues.
- A multi-national machinery corporation regarding its data collection and tracking obligations under the Clean Air Act.
