Pipeline Company Defends Enforcement Case Involving EPA, PHSMA, State Agency and Natural Resource Damages Trustees

A 2015 leak from an interstate crude oil pipeline into a major western river resulted in enforcement action by multiple agency stakeholders. Our firm is defending this client using its unique knowledge of pipeline operations, experience with the interplay between cross-agency jurisdiction and regulatory issues, and natural resource damages expertise. The firm assisted the client in swiftly resolving the state claims on a cash-out basis with no injunctive element. The case is ongoing with the other entities.
