Environmental Crimes
Environmental crimes may be charged in many forms in the state and federal system. The HAZMAT laws concern the handling, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste. Charges vary from illegal dumping to unlawfully storing hazardous materials to failing to have proper permits when transporting dangerous materials. Federal offenses can also involve fish, wildlife, and plants, particularly if the offense was committed for financial gain, such as the removal of protected eagle’s nests or other endangered species to allow for further land development. These laws carry stiff penalties in terms of fines and prison time.
