A business cannot grow, move, lease property or buy insurance today without regard to environmental law implications. Everyone has a favorite anecdote about some great deal, which foundered for environmental causes. Even single-family house closings now focus on environmental issues such as radon, and underground heating oil storage tanks, lead paint and mold.

Williams, Caliri, Miller & Otley, P.C. has experience in this field, too. Our familiarity with personnel and procedures of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection can provide guidance through what is sometimes a bureaucratic labyrinth, which often saves our clients' time and money. We also work with environmental consultants to devise creative solutions to get the fastest possible answers to your questions and resolution of your problems. Our experience gives us special insight into the Industrial Site Recovery Act ("ISRA"), the Spill Compensation and Control Act (the "Spill Act"), the Underground Storage Tank Act (the "UST Act"), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation Liability Act ("CERCLA" a/k/a the "SuperFund"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), and the like.

We often structure agreements to allocate and divide environmental risk which may not be susceptible to accurate assessment for months or years after a deal needs to be completed. In many such transactions, Williams, Caliri, Miller & Otley, P.C.'s understanding of environmental insurance policies often is invaluable.
