Pipeline Company Defends Enforcement Case Involving EPA, PHSMA, State Agency and Natural Resource Damages Trustees

A 2015 leak from an interstate crude oil pipeline into a major western river resulted in enforcement action by multiple agency stakeholders.  Faegre Baker Daniels is defending this client using its unique knowledge of pipeline operations, experience with the interplay between cross-agency jurisdiction and regulatory issues, and natural resource damages expertise. The firm assisted the client in swiftly resolving the state claims on a cash-out basis with no injunctive element. The case is ongoing with the other entities.
