David A. Roth, a partner in the Environmental Department in Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis LLP’s Woodbridge Office, will be a panelist at the seminar, “Discharge Prevention Program: Compliance in NJ.” The program is sponsored by Rutgers University New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and will be held on May 21, 2013.

The one-day workshop will provide guidance on preparing updates to current Discharge Prevention Containment and Countermeasure (DPCC) and Discharge Cleanup and Removal (DCR) plans, and steps to ensure compliance with the plans and NJDEP rules. Also for discussion is the federal Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) “sister” program and how discharges will be addressed under the new Remediation of Contaminated Site rule to be adopted this year.

Mr. Roth has a concentration in real estate, environmental, and health and safety law, with a special emphasis on compliance counseling and the environmental aspects of real estate and business transactions. He assists clients in resolving issues arising under solid and hazardous waste laws, the federal Clean Water Act, the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, right-to-know programs, the Occupational Safety and Health Act and emerging product safety laws. A substantial part of his practice involves negotiating with and appearing before federal, state and local agencies in connection with enforcement actions, site investigation and clean up cases, permitting, voluntary agreements, and administrative consent orders, and handling administrative and judicial appeals. He also works closely with client EHS and legal departments on auditing, developing environmental management systems, and training with respect to compliance, reporting and disclosure requirements.
