The burden of cleaning up Superfund & other haz. waste sites is increasingly shifting to taxpayers, part'y. since bus. handling haz. sub. are no longer taxed under Superfund & the backlog of sites needing cleanup is growing. While environ. laws rely on the polluter paysÓ principle, the extent to which liable parties cease oper. or restructure can directly affect the cleanup costs faced by taxpayers. This report: determines how many bus. with liab. under fed. law for environ. cleanups have declared bankruptcy, & how many such cases the gov't. has pursued in court; identifies challenges the EPA faces in holding bankrupt & other financially distressed bus. resp. for their cleanup oblig.; & identifies actions that EPA could take to ensure that bus. pay for their cleanups.

The industrial history of Britain has left hugs areas of land contaminated by a range of substances that have adverse and widespread consequences for people and the environment. This new edition of "Contaminated Land", with the UK Environment Act, 1995, at its center, has been produced with the non-lawyer in mind, and is to act as a guide to the regime of Guidance and Regulations that have been introduced to tackle the legacy of historic contamination. Rather than being a legal treatise, it is a clear and comprehensive overview, providing readers with a practical and effective understanding of the general principles involved.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (the EPA) Office of Site Remediation Enforcement (OSRE) manages the enforcement of the nation's hazardous waste cleanup laws, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, commonly known as Superfund), the corrective action and underground storage tank cleanup provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and the Oil Pollution Act (OPA). The main objective of the cleanup enforcement program is to ensure prompt site cleanup and the participation of liable parties in performing and paying for cleanups in a manner that ensures protection of human health and the environment. Both CERCLA and RCRA are designed to protect human health and the environment from the dangers of improperly disposed hazardous substances. The RCRA programs focus on how wastes should be managed to avoid potential threats to human health and the environment. CERCLA, on the other hand, applies primarily when contamination has already occurred, resulting in releases of hazardous substances to the environment. Both programs, however, have cleanup authorities that address contaminated sites. This handbook summarizes the statutory, policy and guidance, and regulatory provisions that may be helpful to parties looking to manage environmental cleanup liability risks associated with the revitalization of contaminated sites. It is designed for use by parties involved in the assessment, cleanup, and revitalization of sites, and provides a basic description of the tools that may be available to address liability concerns.

This is the only comprehensive text on the increasingly important subject of environmental risk and insurance. The author presents many risk and insurance issues from acid rain and global warming to toxic tort law developments and the crisis with workers' compensation insurance and pollution liability coverage. This volume is the product of nearly eight years of research, which included reviewing over 250,000 pages of laws, documents, reports, and notes, as well as countless hours of investigations, interviews, and research. Basic and advanced environmental liability and insurance principles are covered, along with suggestions for financing pollution cleanups and safety programs. A new method for restructuring and improving Superfund is presented after an in-depth discussion of pertinent legal and financial issues. The book also provides local, national, and international case histories demonstrating the kinds of difficulties encountered by businesses and citizens and the solutions they have sought. All of this information, combined with the valuable charts, appendices, specimens, contracts, sample insurance policies, model letters, and certificates, makes Environmental Risk and Insurance an unmatched reference source for businesses, institutions, and government agencies caught up in the midst of analyzing their environmental risk exposures.
