Ankur advises across a wide spectrum of federal and state environmental, permitting, and enforcement regimes related to wildlife and natural resource management, pollution control, and hazardous waste cleanup. He regularly works with clients on matters involving cornerstone statutes such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), Federal Land Policy and Management Act, Clean Water Act (CWA), Safe Drinking Water Act, Toxic Substances Control Act, Clean Air Act (CAA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), and Washington’s Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA).
My practice focuses on carbon management. The growing ground swell in the business opportunities, as well as regulatory mandates focused on sustainability, carbon emission caps, and carbon capture and sequestration present a wide array of fascinating and complex legal issues.
