Suits Against Gas-Emitting Landfills In West Virginia: Identifying And Overcoming The Barriers, Shawn H. Hogbin
West Virginia Law Review
The U.S. in the past two decades has experienced an increase in class actions stemming from landfill odors, with many of these lawsuits utilizing the common law doctrines of nuisance, trespass, and negligence. Landfill odors impact nearby residents, making it unenjoyable for them to be outside on their lawns, and even in their homes. West Virginia’s sole appellate court, despite the state having 17 operational landfills and disposing of nearly 1.5 million tons of trash, has seen no such suit. This Note identifies whether West Virginia decisional law is prohibitive of this type of suit; it finds no clear legal …

Keeping Nutrient Pollution At Bay: An Analysis Of Efforts To Mitigate Non-Point Source Pollution In The Chesapeake Bay, Madison Hinkle
West Virginia Law Review
The Chesapeake Bay is one of the most important estuaries in the United States, adding to the region’s ecological, economic, recreational, historic, and cultural value.

A number of the jurisdictions2 within the Bay Watershed established the first Chesapeake Bay Agreement in 1983, aimed at abating the issues. Over the next four decades, the Agreement was then modified and resigned, additional jurisdictions have signed …

From Consultation To Consent: Community Approval As A Prerequisite To Environmentally Significant Projects, Nicholas A. Fromhertz
From Consultation To Consent: Community Approval As A Prerequisite To Environmentally Significant Projects, Nicholas A. Fromhertz
West Virginia Law Review
Since the United States enacted the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1969, nations all around the world have adopted similar statutes. What started as a unique response to the American environmental movement grew to become a nearly global standard. Although the details of the regimes vary from country to country, there are two constants: (1) the regimes force the government to consider environmental impacts before conducting or authoriz- ing projects, and (2) they allow some degree of public participation. This Arti- cle focuses on the latter of these two features. Public participation in NEPA-style regimes generally means public consultation: …
