EPA has hired veteran Hogan Lovells energy attorney Patrick Traylor as a deputy in the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, according to the agency's website and his Linkedln profile.
Traylor has been an attorney at Hogan Lovells since 1997 and specialized in Clean Air Act issues, environmental litigation and infrastructure.
According to his law firm biography, Traylor's clients included the utility Southern California Edison; Venture Global LNG, a natural gas exporter; Flint Hills Resources, a Koch subsidiary refiner; Koch Nitrogen, maker of synthetic fertilizer; and several wind companies seeking Endangered Species Act permits. The bio also says he "helped secure an 'against all odds' series of permits authorizing the expansion of a coal mine on the Navajo Nation for BHP Billiton."
Other clients included TransCanada, Dominion Energy, AES Corp., NRG Energy and the Anschutz Corporation, according to the Energy Bar Association.
Traylor earned his law degree from the South Texas College of Law in 1994 and received an advanced degree in environmental law from George Washington University in 1998.
President Donald Trump's nominee to run the enforcement office, Senate Environment and Public Works Committee staffer Susan Bodine, is slated to have a confirmation hearing next week.
