ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

The many facets of environmental law impact almost every real estate transaction, be it residential or commercial. The members of the Real Estate Law Group have developed expertise in federal, state and local environmental statutes and regulations and their application.

We have substantial experience with Chapter 21E, the Massachusetts Contingency Plan and other state and local statutes and regulations regulating hazardous waste and underground fuel storage tank removal, as well as federal laws and regulations applicable to disposal and handling of hazardous wastes. Our expertise in environmental permitting also includes Chapter 91 licensing, Title 5 septic system regulations, the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection and Rivers Act and the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act ("MEPA").
