InsideEPA.com reported on the recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in United States v. P.H. Glatfelter Company, et al., and its significance in holding that the government cannot convert a unilateral administrative order into an injunction.
The article referenced and quoted an Alston & Bird client advisory written by partner Jonathan Wells and associate Ronnie Gosselin in the firm’s Environment, Land Use & Natural Resources Group that said: “Importantly, the Seventh Circuit’s holding in Glatfelter makes it clear that CERCLA does not permit EPA to make an end-run around the legal requirements for permanent injunctive relief.”
