Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More frequently than ever, private owners of contaminated sites have good economic reasons for cleaning up the sites, regardless of any concern on the part of a government agency. And, once having undertaken the costs of cleanup, they naturally seek reimbursement of cleanup costs from those who are responsible for the contamination. Private Cost Recovery Actions Under CERCLA examines the law and policy of private cost recovery actions under Superfund. Private Cost Recovery Actions Under CERCLA explores the relationship between CERCLA`s liability provision and the statute`s contribution provision, a relationship that has caused substantial difficulty for courts and practitioners. Moreover, it gives practical advice to the attorneys and courts that must deal with the complexities and high transaction costs of contribution litigation. Anyone involved in the morass of CERCLA contribution litigation will benefit from Professor John Hyson's measured analysis and coherent advice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seldom in judicial history does the Supreme Court decide a case where it can, let alone will, reverse the standing precedent articulated by essentially every federal judicial circuit court across the nation. Eleven federal circuits, one after the other in a compressed period, barred the use of section 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) for cost recovery by most plaintiffs. This, coupled with the practical result of the 2004 Supreme Court decision in Cooper Industries v. Aviall Services, Inc., greatly discouraged voluntary remediation activities at many of the 450,000 contaminated sites in the United States. In 2007, in Atlantic Research Corp. v. United States, the Supreme Court unanimously reversed the prior wall of consistent precedent from these eleven unanimous federal circuit courts, as an error in statutory interpretation. This article analyzes each piece of this evolving and intertwined puzzle and practical results:• The initial actions of all the federal circuits between 1994-2003 walling off private hazardous waste cost recovery actions,• The pivotal impact of the 2004 Supreme Court decision in Aviall, which greatly limited CERCLA section 113 contribution liability allocation,• The 2007 unanimous Supreme Court opinion in Atlantic Research reopening section 107 based on “plain meaning” statutory interpretation,• How the lower courts have responded to these new commands, and• The checkerboard of results that ensued.

Download or read book Alternatives for Managing the Nation s Complex Contaminated Groundwater Sites written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the United States, thousands of hazardous waste sites are contaminated with chemicals that prevent the underlying groundwater from meeting drinking water standards. These include Superfund sites and other facilities that handle and dispose of hazardous waste, active and inactive dry cleaners, and leaking underground storage tanks; many are at federal facilities such as military installations. While many sites have been closed over the past 30 years through cleanup programs run by the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. EPA, and other state and federal agencies, the remaining caseload is much more difficult to address because the nature of the contamination and subsurface conditions make it difficult to achieve drinking water standards in the affected groundwater. Alternatives for Managing the Nation's Complex Contaminated Groundwater Sites estimates that at least 126,000 sites across the U.S. still have contaminated groundwater, and their closure is expected to cost at least $110 billion to $127 billion. About 10 percent of these sites are considered "complex," meaning restoration is unlikely to be achieved in the next 50 to 100 years due to technological limitations. At sites where contaminant concentrations have plateaued at levels above cleanup goals despite active efforts, the report recommends evaluating whether the sites should transition to long-term management, where risks would be monitored and harmful exposures prevented, but at reduced costs.
