Michael Campbell has more than 30 years of experience helping hydropower, industrial, and municipal clients obtain water quality approvals and find solutions to regulatory problems related to water quality. His practice includes National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) wastewater and stormwater permits, Clean Water Act (CWA) section 401 certifications, state discharge permits, CWA section 404 and state fill permits, and the defense of agency enforcement actions and citizen suits.

To all these efforts, Michael brings a deep understanding of client needs and technical issues, as well as a respectful, problem-solving approach to working with regulatory agencies and other parties.
