PEER Chapters - Texas
David Frederick is a partner in the Austin, Texas law firm of Lowerre & Frederick. He holds BSEE and JD degrees and is admitted to practice before a number of state and federal bars. He represents the plaintiffs’/protestants’ side of the docket in environmental disputes – also, occasionally, in utility rate cases and open government litigation and legislative lobbying.
Clients include local governments, landowners, citizen groups, and others facing environmental threats and utility rate increases. Mr. Frederick was among the attorneys who represented Sierra Club in its series of suits to preserve the endangered species living in the out-flow of the Edwards Aquifer and in the Club’s attempts in 2001 to limit oil and gas drilling on Padre Island National Seashore; he was the lead attorney for those who successfully opposed the proposed state radioactive waste dump in Sierra Blanca.
He is presently involved Clean Air Act litigation against American Electric Power and, separately, against ASARCO’s attempts to re-start its 1880's El Paso copper smelter. His firm has represented PEER in the past, and it has for the past couple of years helped PEER maintain a “pilot light” level of effort in Texas.
