The CLF Team

Anthony Iarrapino is a Senior Attorney who resides in Montpelier, Vermont. He works in CLF’s Clean Water and Healthy Forests Program, focusing on the protection of Lake Champlain and its tributaries, the Green Mountain National Forest, and Vermont’s other natural treasures. In his years at CLF, Anthony has won precedent-setting Clean Water Act cases in Vermont’s environmental court and in federal district court. Working in coalition with citizens and other environmental ngos, he has secured legislative victories to designate approximately 48,000 acres of Wilderness in the Green Mountain National Forest, to strengthen enforcement of environmental laws in Vermont, and to protect Vermont’s heritage of open government and freedom of information from attempted expansion of government secrecy. Anthony has also advanced the cause of clean water in his native state of Massachusetts, most notably by securing penalties and cleanup commitments as part of a landmark settlement of a Clean Water Act enforcement case against the Boston Water and Sewer Commission. In 2008, Anthony accepted the Clean Water Network’s “Aqua Award” on behalf of CLF for “Organization of the Year” in recognition of stormwater pollution cleanup strategies that Anthony and his colleagues successfully implemented in Vermont and other New England states.

Prior to joining CLF in 2005, Anthony spent two years as the law clerk for Hon. Denise R. Johnson, Associate Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court. Before entering the legal field, Anthony worked as an aide to U.S. Congressman Martin T. Meehan. Anthony received his B.A. magna cum laude from Boston College in 1998 and his J.D. summa cum laude from Vermont Law School in 2003. Anthony is admitted to practice law in Vermont and Massachusetts.
