In a move that brings together one of the most highly regarded land use teams in California and Paul Hastings' elite real estate group, the firm announced the addition of partners DJ Moore, Beth Gordie, Winston Stromberg, Benjamin Hanelin and Lauren Paull in Los Angeles. The team joins from Latham & Watkins, uniting two top-ranked Chambers practices. The group has extensive experience advising landowners, developers, project sponsors, institutions and utilities throughout California on securing the full range of local, regional, state and federal approvals necessary to permit and construct development and infrastructure projects, as well as compliance with all associated environmental laws, including the National Environmental Policy Act, California Environmental Quality Act, California Coastal Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many others. 'The real estate sector and California continue to be strategic priorities for the firm, and the team brings an extensive track record of success in high-stakes real estate matters across the state,' said Paul Hastings chair Frank Lopez. 'They are another fantastic addition to our preeminent real estate platform, further strengthening our ability to provide our clients with premier support on their most complex matters involving real estate zoning and environmental matters and more broadly.' Moore's practice focuses on helping clients obtain and defend land use entitlement and environmental approvals from government agencies for major infrastructure, energy and development projects. Gordie focuses on advising landowners and developers through all stages of the entitlement and development process, providing counsel to clients on local planning and zoning regulations, complex regulatory frameworks, government approvals and related environmental matters. Stromberg advises major energy, infrastructure and real estate project developers on land use entitlements, environmental approvals and administrative hearings with a principal focus on litigation arising out of such processes. A former judicial clerk in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of California, Hanelin has worked on some of the largest development projects in Southern California over the last 20 years. With a focus on major infrastructure projects, logistics facilities, data centers, film and television developments and California Environmental Quality Act litigation, he guides developers and institutions on state, federal and local planning and zoning regulations and defends any litigation that follows. Paull advises landowners and developers through all stages of the entitlement and development process, counseling clients on planning and zoning regulations, approvals and related environmental matters.

Perpetua secures $6.9m defence funding to advance domestic antimony supply
Perpetua Resources has received up to $6.9m in additional funding from the US Army through the Defence Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC). The funds will be used to test the feasibility of using material from Perpetua's Stibnite Gold Project to produce military-specification antimony trisulfide. This funding is a continuation of the $15.5m awarded in August 2023 under an Ordnance Technology Initiative Agreement (OTIA). The supplemental award will expand the research already under way and support the US Army's goal of establishing a fully domestic "ground-to-round" antimony trisulfide supply chain. The OTIA aims to fund the development and delivery of a flexible, modular pilot plant to the US Army to process antimony and other materials of interest to the Department of Defense (DOD). Under the OTIA, Perpetua will be reimbursed on a cost-plus fixed fee basis through the end of 2026. The total funding of up to $22.4m under the OTIA may be adjusted by the DOTC as the programme progresses. Perpetua is entitled to be reimbursed for all costs incurred under the agreement. With this additional funding, Perpetua Resources will expand material sampling and enhance the pilot plant's scope and size. Perpetua Resources president and CEO Jon Cherry said: 'We are honoured to continue our work with the US Army to secure a domestic source of antimony trisulfide. 'Advancing America's capabilities to process minerals critical to national defence is essential for our long-term mineral independence and resilience. We are proud to play our part in furthering the Army's 'ground-to-round' critical minerals strategy.' This award is part of a broader partnership with the DOD to secure domestic sources of critical minerals. Perpetua has now received more than $80m in total from the Department of Defense. The Stibnite Gold Project is expected to supply up to 35% of US antimony demand in its first six years, based on the 2023 US Geological Survey antimony commodity summary. This funding comes at a critical time, as China, which dominates the global antimony market, ceased exports to the US in 2024. The project will not only support national security but also generate jobs, improve water quality and address environmental issues at an abandoned mine site, according to the company. Recently, Perpetua applied to the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for up to $2bn in potential debt financing for the construction of the Stibnite Gold Project. EXIM's due diligence and review will follow to determine the project's eligibility under its initiatives.

Contract awarded for Conneaut dredging
CONNEAUT — The United States Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $4 million contract to Michigan-based Walsh Service Solutions to dredge of federal navigation channel in the city's harbor, according to a release from the agency. Dredging will begin in mid-August and end mid-September, and the contract stipulates a total of around 70,000 cubic yards of material will be removed from the channel, according to the release. 'Dredging of harbors like these ensures accessible depths for large vessels, the continued flow of commodities across the Great Lakes, and the economic viability of United States waterways,' the release said. Conneaut's harbor supports $132 million in business revenue and $41 million in income for transportation labor. The release said the harbor has handled 2.9 million tons of cargo in 2022, 98% of which was iron ore. Conneaut City Manager Nick Sanford said Walsh will work with Kurtz Brothers, the company that oversees the Conneaut Creek Dredge Reclamation Facility. The city will be paid a tipping fee for the dredged material placed in the facility, he said. Dredging operations in Conneaut are generally restricted to the federal shipping channel, Sanford said. Before 2024, the city's harbor was last dredged in 2019, Sanford said. A state ban on open-lake dumping of dredged material became effective July 1, 2020. Sanford said the city developed its own dredging plan in-line with state law. 'The Conneaut plan was designed for implementation in 2023; however unforeseen regulatory delays furrowed the agencies into 2024,' he said. Sanford said, from his understanding, the city's dredge reclamation facility had a great inaugural year. 'The facility performed exactly as designed, dewatering just over 77,000 cubic yards of dredged material from the floor of Conneaut harbor,' he said.
