Baker & Daniels represents several municipal clients in actions by citizen groups under environmental and common laws. We have defended clients in suits brought by citizen groups alleging that our clients discharge pollutants into the air or a sewer, river or stream in amounts exceeding limits in their permit.
In Superfund cost recovery actions, a municipality or county government can be named as a potentially responsible party. We have experience in allocating costs where municipal trash has been disposed in a landfill that also accepted industrial waste.
