Book Analysis of the Preemptive Effect of Federal Hazardous Material Laws on Virginia s Bridge tunnel Regulations

Download or read book Analysis of the Preemptive Effect of Federal Hazardous Material Laws on Virginia s Bridge tunnel Regulations written by David Randal Ayers and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1988, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) adopted regulations that govern the transportation of hazardous materials through seven highway tunnel facilities. Recently, the validity of these regulations have been called into question on two separate grounds. First, since the federal government has been active in regulating the transportation of hazardous materials, the Commerce and Supremacy Clauses of the U.S. Constitution may preclude states from adopting hazardous material transportation regulations. Second, regulations promulgated under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (HMTA) of 1975 may preclude state regulatory activity in the hazardous material transportation area. This study evaluates the legality of the VDOT tunnel regulations in light of the above challenges to their validity. As to the first challenge to the VDOT regulations, it is highly unlikely a court would find the regulations preempted. VDOT's regulations, however, are more problematic when tested against the preemption provisions outlined in the HMTA. The HMTA expressly preempts state regulations which: 1. make compliance with the federal regulations an impossibility; 2. are an obstacle to the accomplishment of the federal regulations; or 3. which are preempted under 49 App. U.S.C. 1804(a)(4) (which preempts state regulations that deal with a subject covered by the HMTA and which are not substantively identical to the HMTA provisions) or 49 App. U.S.C. 1804(b) (which excludes certain state regulations that deal with hazardous material routing). The analysis conducted in this study seems to indicate that the HMTA preempts VDOT's attempt to regulate hazardous material shipments through the state's tunnels. However, the HMTA also includes a number of exceptions to the general preemption rules. One of these regulations, 49 C.F.R. 177.810 (1992) provides that: nothing contained in [the regulations promulgated under the HMTA] shall be so construed as to nullify or supersede regulations established ... under authority of State statute ... regarding the kind, character, or quantity of any hazardous material permitted by such regulations to be transported through any urban vehicular tunnel used for mass transportation. In summary, the VDOT tunnel regulations are almost certainly preempted to the extent they apply to non-urban tunnels, and may further be preempted to the extent they reclassify hazardous materials. Consequently, it is recommended that VDOT submit its regulations to the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) of the Department of Transportation for a preemption determination.

Book Operations Research and Environmental Management

Download or read book Operations Research and Environmental Management written by Carlo Carraro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activities of the Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei cover a broad spectrum of research topics, ranging from economics to engineering, from environmen tal management at the industry or regional level to basic mathematical model ling research. It is the combination of the activities on these last two topics that led the Fondazione to organise, with the University of Geneva, a work shop where operation research tools were designed with the aim to provide national and local policy makers with appropriate analytical and policy instru ments for environmental management. In the recent past, attention has often been devoted to global environmen tal issues in which the level of policy making is either international, through multi-country agreements on emission control, or national, when environ mental policies are designed to control domestic pollution. Many environ mental problems, however, have a local or regional dimension. Even when their dimension is global, e. g. in the case of the greenhouse gas effect, relevant decisions on emission control, such as the adoption of energy saving utilities, are taken at the local level. In many countries, the current legislation imposes the local authorities to prepare plans and adopt measures to control energy consumption or to reduce waste of natural resources. It is therefore important to analyze the way in which local or regional authorities optimise their environmental management.
