This practical book guides the reader through Superfund Law.
Superfund is the common name for the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, which established a
national program for cleaning up the nation's abandoned and
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. Superfund changed the way the
United States conducts business by imposing substantial liability
on present and past owners and operators of contaminated sites and
on generators and transporters of hazardous substances to those
sites. By examining the Superfund liability scheme, Fogleman
provides businesses and individuals with the necessary knowledge to
aid in avoiding Superfund liability. She provides a road map
through the Superfund program, the Environmental Protection
Agency's enforcement and settlement procedures, and Superfund
litigation.
After reviewing the legislative history of Superfund and its
amendments, Valerie M. Fogleman examines the Superfund program from
discovery of a contaminated site through its cleanup. She describes
the EPA's enforcement and settlement procedures, and Superfund
litigation by governmental and nongovernmental entities. Fogleman
analyzes Superfund liability and defenses to liability of persons
and entities that are potentially responsible for conducting or
bearing the cost of cleanups and damages to natural resources.
These potentially responsible parties include almost all persons
and entities in the American business community including
corporations, corporate officers, directors, and employees,
lenders, and governmental entities. This book is an important
resource for lawyers and businessmen who seek a one-volume
comprehensive and practical guide to Superfund law and
liability.
