Environmental Law

One of the first firms in the state to develop an Environmental practice, Foster Swift has advised clients and litigated a wide range of federal and state environmental matters. We have advised municipalities on contamination issues and assisted municipal clients in obtaining reimbursement of their environmental response costs.

Serving another need, we have represented clients in matters involving permitting and licensing under the:

  • Hazardous Waste Management Act;
  • Solid Waste Disposal Act;
  • Michigan Water Resources Act;
  • Michigan Air Pollution Control Act;
  • Michigan Inland Lakes and Streams Act;
  • Michigan Shoreline Protection Act; and
  • Michigan Oil and Gas Act.

Foster Swift attorneys have represented a number of clients throughout the state with sites listed under the Environmental Response Act (Act 307). We have also assisted municipalities in the redevelopment of Brownfield sites, the creation of redevelopment authorities, and the development of strategies to address response costs. On the federal level, we have advised clients about the Right to Know legislation, the Clean Air Act and Toxic Substance Control Act provisions for PCBs.

We have worked with townships to address land use issues that may impact a township's natural resources. For example, we have worked with townships on developing and enforcing mineral extraction, on-site sewer systems, open space, wetland and wind energy regulations.
