Expert testimony and litigation support

Scientific experts often provide crucial facts and opinions for litigation related to environmental science and policy, permitting, and contamination events. Downstream Strategies offers expert testimony, litigation support, and subject-matter expertise for a wide range of environmental issues. Our team of highly-credentialed environmental professionals works with a number of law firms and individual clients on cases involving water, soil, air, and dust contamination.

We provide skilled experts with strong backgrounds in environmental science, federal and state environmental laws and regulations, field data collection and interpretation, complex remediation projects, analysis and interpretation of large environmental data sets, and GIS-based spatial analysis and cartography. We have testified in federal and state court, before appeals boards, and before a state public service commission. We offer expert and fact witnesses, expert reports, and written and oral testimony on issues related to:

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, including antidegradation requirements
Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) mining permits
Quarry permits
Public Service Commission certificates of convenience and necessity and siting certificates

Reclaiming Appalachia Mini-grant Assistance

We provided technical assistance to community groups in Kentucky as part of the Reclaiming Appalachia Mini-Grant Program. Community priorities range from securing clean drinking water to diversifying local economies that have historically depended almost solely on coal mining. We are creating renderings for these projects and estimating their local economic benefits to lay the groundwork for successful grant proposals.
