Russell Frye has concentrated his practice in environmental law for over 25 years, representing multinational
industrial corporations and lending institutions and national trade associations. His broad experience has included
environmental permitting for major new industrial facilities, power plants, and landfills; defending civil and
criminal enforcement actions, citizen suits, and “toxic tort” actions; representing owners and generator groups at
Superfund sites; and advocating changes in environmental rules before Congress, environmental agencies,
development banks, and the courts.
Mr. Frye has been involved in the development of many key environmental policies in the United States, from
participating in the legislative debate all the way to litigating the implementation of statutes and regulations. In
the early 1980s he played a critical role in litigation that eliminated “treatment for treatment's sake” of non-toxic
“conventional” water pollutants, forcing EPA to withdraw rules that would have cost the paper industry $2.5
billion. In 1990, he lobbied to prevent the new acid rain program in the Clean Air Act Amendments from stifling
cogeneration and independent power production, and he subsequently successfully challenged EPA regulations that
would have severely limited the benefit of those protections. In 1998 he successfully argued a case in the federal
court of appeals for the Fifth Circuit that prevented expansion of the federal Endangered Species Act to state
permitting actions, in what Inside EPA termed “a landmark decision.” Recently he has been actively involved in
both the national policy debate and defense of enforcement actions in several industry sectors concerning
Prevention of Significant Deterioration preconstruction permitting requirements, as well as representing over a
dozen trade associations concerned that the Clean Air Act not be used as an unauthorized method of addressing
global climate change.
Mr. Frye has extensive experience with many aspects of environmental and health issues, and he is familiar not
only with the legal scheme and the procedures involved, but also with the scientific, technical, and economic
considerations. As a partner in three major law firms, he has managed a team of professionals dealing with
environmental policymaking issues on the national and sometimes international level. At the same time, he has
solved environmental problems and provided strong guidance and defense to individual manufacturing facilities,
electrical and water utilities, and other types of operations in many if not most of the states.
Mr. Frye is the author of Clean Water Act Compliance Handbook (John Wiley & Sons, 1989) and a co-author of five
other books. He has also authored over two dozen articles, including articles in The National Law Journal,
Pollution Engineering, Journal of Environmental Permitting, EPA Administrative Law Reporter, Modern Casting,
Law and Policy in International Business, and International Business Lawyer.
Mr. Frye has spoken on environmental topics at numerous industry seminars and universities in the U.S. and at
conferences in Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, and Russia. He holds an A.B.
degree, cum laude, from Princeton University and a J.D. degree from the University of Denver College of Law.
From 1995 to 1998 he chaired the Environment, Health and Safety Law Committee of the International Bar
Association. In December 2000 he was selected as one of 373 lawyers from 14 countries in Euromoney's Guide to
the World's Leading Environment Lawyers. He is admitted to the bar in Ohio and the District of Columbia, as well
as most federal courts of appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.
