Mining and Natural Resources

Regulatory Permitting and Compliance

Oil & gas and mining projects within the United States are subject to stringent and complex federal, state, local and tribal laws and regulations governing environmental, health and safety aspects of mineral development, operation and reclamation. These laws and regulations include the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Mine, Safety and Heath Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, and other similar federal and state statutes.

Dorsey attorneys have experience navigating these laws and working with the numerous governmental authorities, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Mine Safety and Health Administration and other similar and analogous federal and state agencies that administer and enforce environmental laws within the United States.
