Negotiating a Resolution
with the EPA
When the United States Environmental Protection Agency launched an investigation into alleged violations of state and federal air emissions regulations, a major Southern California cement company turned to MTO’s environmental team.  Despite substantial scrutiny by the EPA in a multi-year investigation, MTO’s environmental lawyers succeeded in negotiating a resolution of all claims that paved the way for completion of a new multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with minimal disruption in the manufacturing process.
