Consistent Inconsistency: Cercla Private Cost Recovery Actions And The Community Relations "Requirement", Shelley J. Pellegrino

Washington Law Review

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) provides private parties with the right to recover their cleanup costs from third parties responsible for contaminating sites with hazardous waste. To do so, plaintiffs must show that their response costs are consistent with the National Contingency Plan (NCP), which establishes procedures and standards for hazardous waste cleanup. Courts presently diverge regarding the NCP community relations requirement. Some courts find that private parties satisfy these public participation provisions by working with a government agency. Other courts bold that private parties cannot recover their cleanup costs without providing the public with an …

Environmental Regulation Of Russia's Offshsore Oil & Gas Industry And Its Implications For The International Petroleum Market, Deborah K. Espinosa

Washington International Law Journal

Due to Northeast Asia's increasing energy demand, the Russian Far East's immense oil and gas reserves, and the close physical proximity between the two regions, international petroleum companies are exploring Russia's offshore petroleum reserves in the Far East. The Russian offshore industry, however, presents foreign investors with many legal uncertainties including exposure to environmental liabilities. This Comment suggests that Russia's environmental regulatory system, which includes a constitutional right to a healthy environment, presents international petroleum companies with a new set of circumstances to which they must adapt if Russian reserves are to satisfy Northeast Asia's rising energy needs. To do …

Environmental Law, W. Scott Laseter, Julie V. Mayfield

Mercer Law Review

This Article marks the fourth survey of environmental law in the Eleventh Circuit. In terms of environmental issues, the most recent period was an active one for the Eleventh Circuit and its associated district courts during which the appellate court handed down its first Endangered Species Act decisions; issued a sweeping decision under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act; and heard several other cases raising important environmental questions. Additionally, the survey period saw a federal district judge from Alabama strike a blow against Superfund's vaunted armor

Evidence, Marc T. Treadwell

Mercer Law Review

Previous surveys have addressed the trend--or at least what the author perceives to be the trend--of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in recent years to defer to district court judges' evidentiary decisions. This recent trend can be contrasted with the activism displayed by Eleventh Circuit judges in decisions discussed in earlier survey articles. The effects of this more recent trend are fewer cases in which the Eleventh Circuit devotes extensive examination of evidentiary issues and, when evidentiary issues are addressed, marked deference to district court judges. Although this trend appeared to continue during the current survey period, two decisions …
