	Scott DuBoff Scott DuBoff is an owner (member) of the law firm of Garvey Schubert Barer in Washington, D.C. Scott’s practice is concentrated in environmental, solid and hazardous waste and related energy matters. He represents local government and corporate clients before federal and state administrative agencies and trial and appellate courts and Congress. His practice encompasses waste-to-energy (WTE), air quality permitting, solid and hazardous waste, Superfund (CERCLA – Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act), surface and groundwater protection, and environmental planning matters on behalf of municipal government agencies, utilities and oil production and refining companies. Scott’s WTE work involves many facets of the Clean Air Act’s New Source Review Program, both PSD (Prevention of Significant Deterioration) and NNSR (Non-attainment New Source Review), state solid waste laws, human health and ecological risk assessment, site selection and alternatives analysis as well as other related regulatory requirements. An important aspect of Scott’s WTE-related work involves implementation of “flow control” and similar laws and ordinances through which state and local governments designate specific facilities for management of locally generated waste, and Scott represented more than 20 entities (local governments and state and regional associations) as amici curiae in the U.S. Supreme Court proceedings in United Haulers Association v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority, 550 U.S. 330 (2007). As part of this work, Scott counsels a national coalition of local government entities concerning flow control litigation in federal courts and regularly advises local government clients on various allied subjects, including enforceability of state and local solid waste management laws and related questions of federal law, including Commerce Clause issues that affect the use of flow control. Scott’s practice also includes compliance counseling, enforcement defense (federal and state agency enforcement as well as “citizen” suits), agency rulemaking and contract negotiation and drafting. Scott has extensive appellate litigation experience in various federal and state courts in cases involving diverse issues of environmental, energy and utility law, and he has been principal counsel in approximately 45 appeals before various federal and state appellate courts. Scott is a member of the bars of the District of Columbia and Wisconsin and various federal trial and appellate courts. Scott received his undergraduate and law school degrees from the University of Wisconsin (his law degree was awarded cum laude in 1973; as an undergraduate Scott was a four-year recipient of the National Evans Scholarship and Evans Scholar Leader of the Year in 1969).
