Qualifications
Russell Frye has concentrated his practice in environmental law for over
35 years, representing multinational industrial corporations and lending
institutions and national trade associations. His broad experience has
included environmental permitting for major new industrial facilities, power
plants, and landfills; defending civil and criminal enforcement actions,
citizen suits, and “toxic tort” actions; representing owners and generator
groups at Superfund sites; and advocating changes in environmental rules
before Congress, environmental agencies, development banks, and the
courts. His work has involved many aspects of governmental assessment and
regulation of risks to human and animal health.

Mr. Frye has been involved in the development of many key environmental
policies in the United States, from participating in the legislative debate all
the way to litigating the implementation of statutes and regulations. In the
early 1980s he played a critical role in litigation that eliminated “treatment
for treatment's sake” of non-toxic “conventional” water pollutants, forcing
EPA to withdraw rules that would have cost the paper industry $2.5 billion.
In 1990, he lobbied to prevent the new acid rain program in the Clean Air
Act Amendments from stifling cogeneration and independent power
production, and he subsequently successfully challenged EPA regulations that
would have severely limited the benefit of those protections. In 1998 he
successfully argued a case in the federal court of appeals for the Fifth
Circuit that prevented expansion of the federal Endangered Species Act to
state permitting actions, in what Inside EPA termed “a landmark decision.”
Recently he has been actively involved in both the national policy debate
and defense of enforcement actions in several industry sectors concerning
Prevention of Significant Deterioration preconstruction permitting
requirements, as well as representing over a dozen trade associations
concerned that the Clean Air Act not be used in an inappropriate manner to
address global climate change.
