Tora was engaged to support a client’s legal team in updating legal entity names across both environmental and non-environmental permits. Following a company restructuring, the operating names for 26 manufacturing locations across 15 states required formal updates with state and local regulatory agencies.

This effort involved the transfer or reissuance of permits in a range of areas, including:

• Air, wastewater, stormwater, and hazardous waste
• Water usage, storage tanks, and radiation
• SWPPP and SPCC plans
• Boiler permits, elevator permits, and business licenses

Tora researched applicable regulations, contacted relevant state and local agencies, and identified the necessary procedures and supporting documentation for each permit category. The team submitted more than 500 documents, ranging from simple notification letters to detailed permit transfer applications.

To manage the volume and complexity, Tora developed a custom tracking database to ensure that notifications were submitted on the proper timeline according to each agency’s requirements. Tora also provided weekly progress updates to the client to support internal coordination and compliance oversight.
