Safe Drinking Water Act Permitting, Enforcement
Members of our firm have counseled clients on Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) issues related to sampling, the provision of alternative water supplies to affected residents, and maximum contaminant levels (including the risk assessments, fate and transport data and information used in Maximum Containment Level (MCL) development). One of our attorneys was the lead counsel in EPA's Region 4 for SDWA actions. This experience allows our firm to readily advise clients on compliance matters. We have advised a major Florida drinking water provider in various permitting and compliance issues, represented community waterworks in non-compliance actions and spoken to the Virginia Chapter of the American Planning Association on the impact of state law on source water protection.
