Environmental law violations are any act in violation of state or
federal environmental laws, such as the illegal dumping of a toxic substance
into the water or soil, which pose a significant threat of harm to people,
property, or the environment.
Federal and state agencies rely on frameworks established by sweeping federal
and state enactments, including the National Environmental Policy Act,
Environmental Quality Improvement Act, Environmental Education Act, and many
other specific statutes aimed at protecting the interests of the environment.
Specific laws protect the air, water, wildlife, endangered species, forests,
climate, energy, and oceans. Other statutes are aimed to curb the illegal use of
pesticides and insecticides, dumping of solid and toxic wastes, and to protect
established environmental resource policy.
The Department of Justice, on behalf of the federal Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), prosecutes violations of environmental law. States may also have
their own environmental protection agencies that operate to issue and enforce
environmental protection laws and rules at the state level. The federal and
state EPAs can also separately issue sanctions for violations of the law without
the involvement of the Department of Justice.
Environmental law violators are usually hit with criminal fines, probation, jail
time, or a combination of these penalties. If you or someone you know is
involved in an environmental law violation case and wants to know the options
available, consult an experienced criminal defense attorney at Joffe Law.
