Federal Statutes on Environmental Protection: Regulation in the Public Interest

This book discusses 69 major federal environmental laws that have a direct impact on companies operating in the United States. Coverage includes every major statute from the Refuse Act of 1899 through recent laws governing nuclear waste policy and solid waste disposal. The statutes discussed included those designed to provide compensation based upon proof of liability and those that establish statutory prohibitions and penalties. For each, the author provides an incisive analysis of the statute itself and of supporting court decisions to show how these statutes have been interpreted in practice.Warren Freedman is the author of 'Federal Statutes on Environmental Protection: Regulation in the Public Interest', published 1987 under ISBN 9780899301907 and ISBN 0899301908.
