Book Synopsis The Financial Implications of Releasing Small Firms and Small-volume Contributors from Superfund Liability by : Lloyd S. Dixon
Download or read book The Financial Implications of Releasing Small Firms and Small-volume Contributors from Superfund Liability written by Lloyd S. Dixon and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2000 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent congressional proposals to reform the federal Superfund program release potentially responsible parties (PRPs) that are small in size or that only played a minor role at the site from liability for cleanup costs. These reforms transfer the cleanup costs of parties released to the Superfund Trust Fund. This report estimates the number of PRPs that would be released and the cleanup costs that would be transferred to the Fund by recent proposals. It also estimates the costs transferred to the Fund per firm released and the financial consequences for those PRPs that remain liable. Releasing from liability firms that contributed only a small proportion of the waste to a site appears to be more cost-effective than releasing small firms. In addition, although there is evidence that large firms will benefit from the transfer of small firms' costs to the Fund, the effect of such a transfer is ambiguous. Implementing reforms that would release small firms or small-volume firms and transferring their volume-based cleanup costs to the Fund may prove costly in terms of additional transaction costs.

Book Synopsis Imposing Values by : N. Scott Arnold
Download or read book Imposing Values written by N. Scott Arnold and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-20 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major question for liberal politics and liberal political theory concerns the proper scope of government. Liberalism has always favored limited government, but there has been wide-ranging dispute among liberals about just how extensive the scope of government should be. Included in this dispute are questions about the extent of state ownership of the means of production, redistribution of wealth and income through the tax code and transfer programs, and the extent of government regulation. One of N. Scott Arnold's goals is to give an accurate characterization of both modern liberalism and classical liberalism, explaining along the way why libertarianism is not the only form that classical liberalism can take. The main focus of Arnold's book, however, concerns regulation--specifically, the modern liberal regulatory agenda as it has taken shape in contemporary American society. This is the set of regulatory regimes favored by all modern liberals and opposed by all classical liberals. It includes contemporary employment law in all its manifestations, health and safety regulation, and land use regulation. The heart of the book consists of a systematic evaluation of arguments for and against all the items on this agenda. It turns out that there are good arguments on both sides for most of these regulatory regimes. Because of this, and because someone's vision of the proper scope of government will ultimately prevail, some procedural requirements that all liberals could agree to must be satisfied for one side to impose legitimately its values on the polity at large. These procedural requirements are identified, argued for, and then applied to the elements of the modern liberal regulatory agenda. Arnold argues that many, though not all, of these elements have been illegitimately imposed on American society.

Book Synopsis Environmental Policy Law by : Holly D. Doremus
Download or read book Environmental Policy Law written by Holly D. Doremus and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 1000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This casebook takes a very broad view of environmental law, encompassing the regulation of private and public land use and protection of wildlife as well as pollution control and remediation. It provides sufficient breadth for any introductory environmental or natural resources law course. It also strikes a balance by focusing in detail on those portions of the statutes covered that raise particularly interesting or important conceptual issues. Throughout, it highlights perpetual controversies such as the nature of human relationships to nature and the appropriate extent of individual control over natural resource use. The Fifth Edition includes problems that help students develop and test their facility with the materials in the text and the concepts underlying those materials. The new edition will also have new chapters on international environmental law issues and on enforcement issues.

Book Synopsis Understanding Superfund by : Jan Paul Acton
Download or read book Understanding Superfund written by Jan Paul Acton and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Superfund program, established by Congress in 1980 and reauthorized in 1986, is intended to handle emergencies arising from the release of hazardous wastes, to provide long-term cleanup for a limited number of sites, and to encourage more responsible disposal of hazardous wastes in the future. This report provides an overview of the Superfund program, its legal basis, and its sources of funds; presents a concise description of incentives and the major administrative steps taken in their application; provides an overview of the major indicators of program effect based on public data available from the Environmental Protection Agency and other selected sources; presents a short interpretation of some of the most interesting or puzzling findings; and outlines statistics and attempts to capture costs and activities for each of the major groups participating in the Superfund process. It also considers the transaction-cost issue, focusing on two of the key players in the cleanup process: very large companies (potentially responsible parties) and insurers that are brought into the hazardous-waste cleanup process by their policy holders' indemnity claims. It describes their experiences with Superfund and Superfund-type sites, and shows the division of their expenses between cleanup and transaction costs.

Book Synopsis Environmental Laws by : Susan R. Fletcher
Download or read book Environmental Laws written by Susan R. Fletcher and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several major statutes form the legal basis for the programs of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Many of these have been amended several times. The current provisions of each are briefly summarised in this report. The Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) seeks to prevent pollution through reduced generation of pollutants at their point of origin. The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires EPA to set mobile source limits, ambient air quality standards, hazardous air pollutant emission standards, standards for new pollution sources, and significant deterioration requirements; and to focus on areas that do not attain standards. The Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes a sewage treatment construction grants program, and a regulatory and enforcement program for discharges of wastes into U.S. waters. Focusing on the regulation of the intentional disposal of materials into ocean waters and authorising related research is the Ocean Dumping Act. The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) establishes primary drinking water standards, regulates underground injection disposal practices, and establishes a groundwater control program. The Solid Waste Disposal Act and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) provide regulation of solid and hazardous waste, while the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), or Superfund, provides authority for the federal government to respond to releases of hazardous substances, and established a fee-maintained fund to clean up abandoned hazardous waste sites. The authority to collect fees has expired, and funding is now provided from general revenues. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act requires industrial reporting of toxic releases and encourages planning to respond to chemical emergencies. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulates the testing of chemicals and their use, and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) governs pesticide products and their use.
