Murray Energy Sues to Stop EPA’s New CWA Protections
Troutman Sanders’ client Murray Energy’s parallel appeals of the federal Clean Water Rule in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals and U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia has attracted significant media attention with close to 400 articles on the litigation, including this July 1 Law360 article, which mentions the firm.
While Murray Energy was first-to-file, 28 states and a number of industry associations and environmental groups have also now joined the fray.
The Troutman Sanders team that is leading the litigation is coordinated by Richmond partner Brooks Smith and includes a multi-office team of lawyers, including Doug Henderson, John Lynch, Jason Manning, Brent Fewell, Miranda Yost and Justin Wong.
