Clean Water Act & NPDES Permitting
At Jones Fortuna, we guide industrial clients, wastewater service providers, and project developers through the complex permitting requirements of the Clean Water Act. Our team has extensive experience securing and defending wetland permits, especially in sensitive and ecologically significant environments.
We also bring deep expertise in obtaining and defending NPDES permits—including those involving impaired waters—and in challenging regulatory permit conditions through litigation when necessary. Whether you’re navigating routine compliance or facing high-stakes regulatory scrutiny, we help you move forward with confidence.
