Find a EPA Regulatory Compliance Expert →Overview
EPA regulatory compliance experts evaluate whether parties met their obligations under major federal environmental statutes including the Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA/Superfund), Clean Air Act, and related state environmental regulations. They address cases involving discharge permit violations, hazardous waste management failures, Superfund cost allocation disputes, and environmental enforcement actions. These experts assess regulatory compliance history, technical feasibility of remediation approaches, and the reasonableness of EPA enforcement decisions. Given the complexity of environmental regulation and the significant financial exposure in environmental litigation, qualified experts must combine regulatory knowledge with technical environmental expertise.
