EXPERIENCE PROFILE<br />
Jennifer Drury Buzecky is a shareholder in the Milwaukee office of <strong>Whyte</strong> <strong>Hirschboeck</strong> <strong>Dudek</strong><br />
S.C. where she heads the Environmental Team. Jennifer began her environmental career with<br />
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region 5 office in Chicago, where she was a federal<br />
contact for state Title V and New Source Review air permitting programs. Her practice<br />
encompasses a broad range of state and federal environmental law, with an emphasis in air<br />
permitting, regulatory compliance, remediation, enforcement defense and transactional risk<br />
assessment. She has also assisted clients in navigating the National and Wisconsin<br />
Environmental Policy Acts, historic preservation issues and endangered species consultation.<br />
She has:<br />
• Successfully negotiated resolution of air violations with the Wisconsin Department of Justice<br />
on behalf of a municipal utility, which resulted in an agreement with the state to delay filing<br />
initial complaint until a settlement was reached to address penalties and environmental<br />
projects. This approach reduced legal fees and the time associated with engaging in formal<br />
litigation of an environmental matter.<br />
• Advised a utility client concerning the successful permitting of a 300-MW natural gas electric<br />
power plant. The project was on time and on budget amidst regulatory changes that had the<br />
potential to significantly impact the issuance of and substantive requirements within the air<br />
permit eventually issued.<br />
• Represented clients in formal mediations to efficiently resolve environmental litigation<br />
matters. Opposing parties have included the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Wisconsin<br />
Department of Natural Resources and various companies and insurers.<br />
• Represented a Fortune 500 company in the state's Green Tier program to develop and<br />
implement the client's innovative approaches to reducing mobile source air emissions and<br />
solid waste, and to decrease its environmental impact through energy efficiency, green design
