Law Firm Joins In Historical Marker Event Recognizing Virginia Tech/Montgomery Airport
Sands Anderson Marks & Miller’s attorneys joined with the Virginia Tech/Montgomery Regional Airport Authority and Virginia Tech/Montgomery Executive Airport on August 8, 2006 to help recognize the installation of a state historical marker at the airport.

Along with the airport staff and Sands Anderson, representatives of the Virginia Aeronautical Historical Society (VAHS), the Virginia Department of Aviation (VDA) and Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHS) attended. Members of the Airport Authority Board, Boards of Supervisors, Town Councils and government staff from Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Montgomery County and other local dignitaries also attended.

The marker commemorates the founding of the airport and its participation in the Civilian Pilot Training Program in the period before and during World War II. One of the first VPI student pilots graduated from that program, Howard J. Graninger, was one of the speakers and shareed some memories of the experience. In addition, Albert M. Orgain IV, chairman of the VAHS, led the unveiling ceremony that included remarks from John Kern of the VDHS, Randy Burdette and Cherry Evans, both of VDA, Michael St. Jean, director of the airport, and Richard Humphries, Virginia Tech's corporate pilot whose base of operations is Blacksburg.

Sands Anderson, counsel for the Airport Authority, sponsored a reception that followed the 1:00 PM event. Orgain is chairman of the firm’s Risk Management Practice Group and its Aviation Team, and is nationally-known for his knowledge in the fields of aviation law and aviation insurance law. He is an active pilot and VMI graduate who flew helicopter gunships during the Vietnam War.

The New River Valley office of Sands Anderson relocated on July 28 from Radford to Blacksburg. The move brought nine attorneys, five paralegals and seven additional staff to the center of Blacksburg at 250 South Main Street, Suite 226, in Kent Square.

Kelley Drye Succeeds in Negotiations with EPA on Behalf of Atlantic Marine
Kelley Drye successfully negotiated and obtained on behalf of Atlantic Marine, Inc. a determination from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") that its coating operations of mega-yachts over 20 meters in length are not subject to National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants ("NESHAP"). This applicability determination represents the first time EPA has ever made a determination that a NESHAP does not apply to an industry. On behalf of Atlantic Marine, Kelley Drye demonstrated to EPA that the language in the Shipbuilding and Repair NESHAP did not support the regulation of Atlantic Marine's mega-yacht coating operations. As a result, Atlantic Marine is now free to expand its operations to include high-gloss coatings for the large yacht market.
