Linn Bumpers speaks with former EPA attorneys Matt Morrison and Matt Trawick about how the second Trump administration is reshaping federal environmental enforcement. They break down the shift toward deregulation, reduced civil and criminal actions, and increasing reliance on states and NGOs, while noting which core programs—like PFAS, RMP, and Clean Air Act cases—remain active. The discussion highlights the Compliance First memo, implications of staffing cuts, and what a more fragmented enforcement landscape means for companies navigating federal and state requirements.

Environmental Evolutions explores emerging areas and recent developments in environmental law and policy.
