Scarinci Hollenbeck is pleased to announce that Environmental Attorney Todd W. Terhune has joined the firm as a partner in its Environmental & Land Use Group. He will also serve as Co-Chair of the firm’s Brownfields and Infrastructure Subgroup. Terhune brings more than two decades of experience in the environmental field, practicing first as a licensed Professional Engineer and, for the past 15 years, as an environmental attorney. His practical, business-oriented approach to environmental problems makes him a welcome addition to the Scarinci Hollenbeck team.
Terhune says, “I was honored when Scarinci Hollenbeck asked me to join their team. They have a highly respected environmental and redevelopment practice and have handled some of the largest and most complicated brownfield projects in the State. Scarinci Hollenbeck provides a platform for me to expand my own practice while adding additional depth to their team.”
Terhune has worked on a wide range of environmental issues arising out of real estate and business transactions, as well as in regulatory compliance and enforcement matters. He routinely appears before the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, although he has worked with environmental matters on almost every continent.
Terhune’s notable projects include the purchase and remediation of a 400-acre former munitions facility in Cranbury and a 130-acre chemical facility in Burlington Township. He also assisted with the sale of 80 fast food franchise stores across the region, many of which were previously occupied by gas stations or dry cleaners.
Working as an environmental engineering consultant and a licensed Professional Engineer, Terhune handled environmental due diligence, environmental permitting, soil and groundwater contamination assessment, and landfill gas assessment and control. Terhune notes that his technical background is an invaluable skill when navigating technically driven legal issues and negotiating with environmental consultants, LSRP’s, regulators and adversaries.
Todd obtained his Bachelor of Science from Widener University, where he returned almost a decade later to pursue law. Scarinci Hollenbeck is proud to welcome him to the team.
