How environmental laws and regulations can affect your business
Federal, state and local environmental statutes, ordinances, and regulations are designed to protect human health and the environment. They govern the purchase, transportation, storage, use and disposal of numerous hazardous and toxic substances. They also concern the release and discharge of various regulated materials into the air, soil, surface water and groundwater. Consequently, environmental laws affect the day-to-day operation and transactions of many businesses.

  • Acquisition or sale of a business or real estate
  • Execution of a lease
  • Operation of a plant
  • Procurement of financing or extension of a loan
  • Recycling, disposal or discharge of regulated materials
  • Use of hazardous or toxic substances or waste in the manufacturing process
