State and federal environmental review can determine the success of large development projects. Anderson & Kreiger uses its extensive experience with NEPA and MEPA to help our clients achieve their goals. Our expertise includes:
Helping developers and corporations obtain approvals of state and federal environmental impact reports and statements for major projects. We represented a Texas energy company in successfully obtaining approval of both its state FEIR under MEPA and its FEIS under NEPA for a large offshore LNG port.
Advising airport owners on NEPA issues.
Representing businesses and municipalities in negotiating desired changes in public projects through MEPA comments or negotiation.
Submitting comment letters to the MEPA unit and to federal agencies, analyzing compliance or non-compliance with environmental regulations.
Handling matters involving the interplay among MEPA, NEPA and other statutes, including waterways and wetlands, historical review, air quality and other environmental statutes.
Litigating MEPA cases and obtaining project changes when necessary. Our experience includes the only successful challenge to a MEPA certificate in Massachusetts Superior Court and Supreme Judicial Court.
