Parker Moore is an associate in the Washington, D.C. office of Beveridge & Diamond, P.C. with an environmental, litigation, and regulatory practice focusing on land use issues involving the Clean Water Act (CWA), Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and related federal natural resources statutes.

During his time with Beveridge & Diamond, Mr. Moore has defended private parties and public agencies in their NEPA compliance efforts.  He regularly counsels private developers through the Section 404 permitting program under the CWA and recently co-authored a Supreme Court amicus brief on behalf of a coalition of national real estate and development associations in the controversial wetlands regulation case, Rapanos v. United States. In the wake of this ruling, Mr. Moore has published several articles on the state of federal wetlands regulation and its impacts on land use interests. Mr. Moore has also counseled private developers in administrative proceedings related to construction regulatory compliance under the CWA’s NPDES program.

Before joining the firm in 2004, Mr. Moore clerked at the White House Council on Environmental Quality and served as a judicial intern to the Honorable Robert H. Hodges of the United States Court of Federal Claims.

Mr. Moore received a bachelor of science degree in Natural Resources from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. He graduated magna cum laude from Vermont Law School, where he was an articles editor for the Vermont Law Review. Before receiving his law degree, he served as a wetlands ecologist for a private environmental consulting firm. In this capacity, Mr. Moore performed extensive onsite evaluation and consultation involving complex federal, state, and local environmental issues including CERCLA, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Virginia Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, and construction regulatory compliance.
