Environmental Law 

We have a significant amount of experience in obtaining permits from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) and the Lake George Park Commission (LGPC) and negotiating Consent Orders with these agencies.  Our experience with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) extends through all phases of this environmental review process and involves projects ranging from single family homes with no environmental impacts to multi-phased commercial projects requiring preparation of Environmental Impact Statements.  We are skilled at monitoring compliance with SEQRA requirements from both the applicant's perspective and as representative of the lead agency.  

Mark Schachner, one of our principals, authored the chapter entitled "Environmental Law - New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (S.E.Q.R.A.)" in the New York Bar Association's book Pitfalls of Practice and lectures regularly on the topic at Adirondack Community College.
