Enforcement of Environmental Laws in Georgia
Environmental pollution can have a profound impact on your property, your health, and your quality of life. Numerous laws are in place to control and prevent environmental pollution, with enforcement led by various government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at the federal level and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) at the state level. When these agencies fail to adequately address environmental violations, or when private parties suffer harm as a result of pollution, litigation becomes a critical tool for holding polluters accountable.
At Stacey Evans Law, we stand up for individuals and property owners harmed by water pollution, air pollution, and other environmental hazards, ensuring that environmental laws are enforced and violators are made to pay for the damage they have caused. Our attorneys include some of the most experienced environmental civil enforcement attorneys in the Southeastern United States who have taken on some of the most high profile pollution disputes in the nation, including complex litigation involving PFAS (or “forever chemicals”), coal ash, acid mine drainage, industrial adhesives and sealants, successful challenges to improperly lax environmental permits, and other pollutants.

Water Pollution Cases
Water pollution is a significant concern in Georgia, affecting rivers, lakes, groundwater, and even drinking water supplies. Contaminants such as industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and hazardous chemicals such as PFAS can lead to severe health issues and property damage. If you or your property has been harmed by water pollution, Stacey Evans Law is prepared to take action. We represent clients in cases involving violations of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and other relevant laws, whether in state or federal court. Our goal is to ensure that responsible parties are held accountable and that our clients receive the compensation and remediation they deserve.
Air Pollution Cases
Air quality is another critical issue in environmental law enforcement. Air pollution from industrial facilities, vehicles, and other sources can contribute to respiratory illnesses, environmental degradation, and diminished property values. Stacey Evans Law represents clients harmed by air pollution in Georgia, including those affected by violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Our firm works diligently to investigate the sources of pollution, gather evidence, and advocate for our clients’ rights in court. We are committed to securing justice for those impacted by air pollution and ensuring that violators are brought to account.
Addressing Other Forms of Pollution
In addition to water and air pollution, other forms of environmental contamination can have devastating effects on individuals and communities. Soil contamination, hazardous waste disposal, and toxic chemical exposure are just a few examples of environmental issues that can give rise to litigation. At Stacey Evans Law, we are experienced in handling a wide range of complex environmental cases. Our team works closely with experts as needed to assess the extent of environmental damage and to build strong cases for our clients, whether through negotiation, litigation, or trial.
