Mr. Lamm was part of a team of attorneys who sued a group of private developers who were attempting to develop ground outside Florissant, Colorado which Congress was in the process of condemning for the purposes of making this ground a National Monument. The case was tried in the Federal District Court and appealed to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. While pending appeal, Congress acted and declared the creation of Florissant National Monument. Mr. Lamm is proud to be considered to be a founder of Florissant National Monument. |

Mr. Lamm was part of a team of attorneys who sued the United States Forest Service to prevent the Forest Service from creating more roads immediately adjacent to the Gore Eagles Nest Wilderness Area which would have prohibited the expansion of the wilderness area. We were successful in that lawsuit and ultimately Congress did enlarge the Gore Eagles Nest Wilderness Area to its present size. |

Mr. Lamm was part of a team of attorneys who sued the United States Atomic Energy Commission to prevent them from detonating an atomic bomb deep underground near Rulison, Colorado. The theory of the Atomic Energy Commission was that the bomb blast would crack the shale in that area, releasing major amounts of natural gas for public consumption. Mr. Lamm ultimately prosecuted the case in Federal District Court, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and had an emergency hearing before the United States Supreme Court. Ultimately the Atomic Energy Commission was permitted to detonate their bomb, but to this day, not a single cubic foot of commercial natural gas has been extracted from the Rulison area. |
