Environmental Law, Eleventh Circuit Survey, Travis M. Trimble
Environmental Law, Eleventh Circuit Survey, Travis M. Trimble
Scholarly Works
In 2003 the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit decided two cases concerning the Clean Air Act, holding that provisions allowing the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to address compliance issues through the issuance of administrative compliance orders are unconstitutional2 and that the Clean Air Act does not waive the United States’ defense of sovereign immunity in an action for punitive penalties for past violations of air pollution laws. The court also considered for the first time the circumstances under which a state enforcement action would preempt a citizen suit under the Clean Water Act. This Article also …

Predictions And Prescriptions For The Endangered Species Act, Robert L. Fischman
Predictions And Prescriptions For The Endangered Species Act, Robert L. Fischman
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The thirtieth anniversary of the enactment of the modern Endangered Species Act (ESA) offers an irresistible excuse to suggest changes that are needed to set the statute, and the larger project of environmental protection, on course for greater effectiveness. The 1973 ESA is novel in its approach and reach, in that it reflects both the resource management and pollution control traditions in environmental law. Its evolution indicates broader trends in the legal landscape of environmental law.
Making predictions about the future of the ESA is a daunting task. Most predictions made thirty years ago about the statute proved to be …
The Meanings Of Biological Integrity, Diversity, And Environmental Health, Robert L. Fischman
The Meanings Of Biological Integrity, Diversity, And Environmental Health, Robert L. Fischman
Articles by Maurer Faculty
This article extracts from the legislative mandate to "ensure that the biological integrity, diversity, and environmental health of the [Refuge] System are maintained," a range of meanings that reflect scientific and legislative trends in conservation. The standard modes of statutory interpretation yield meanings that largely support the 2001 Fish and Wildlife Service policy delineating three distinct yet overlapping categories. The analysis reveals three insights applicable to other areas of environmental law. First, although diversity and health emphasize important aspects of nature protection, integrity is becoming the umbrella concept that encompasses the needs of well functioning landscapes. Second, the effectiveness of …
From Pick And Shovel To Mountaintop Removal: Environmental Injustice In The Appalachian Coalfields, Patrick C. Mcginley
From Pick And Shovel To Mountaintop Removal: Environmental Injustice In The Appalachian Coalfields, Patrick C. Mcginley
Law Faculty Scholarship
In this Essay, Professor McGinley examines a century of conflicts between the coal mining industry and the people of the "billion dollar coalfield" communities of southern West Virginia whose labors provided fuel for the industrial revolution, two world wars, and the energy demands of the nation.
The Essay identifies a troubling paradox Highly efficient new mining technologies, including so-called "mountaintop removal" strip mining, have resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of well paying jobs while coal production has reached record levels and many coalfield communities remain mired in economic stagnation and poverty.
The Essay identifies provisions of the …
Citizens To Preserve Overton Park V. Volpe, Peter L. Strauss
Citizens To Preserve Overton Park V. Volpe, Peter L. Strauss
Faculty Scholarship
This essay is one of a series destined to appear in a Foundation Press book, Administrative Law Stories, now set for publication in the fall of 2005. The decision in Citizens to Preserve Overton Park v. Volpe represents a transition from political to judicial controls over decisions broadly affecting a wide range of community interests. Unmistakable and dramatic as it is, that transition is not universally applauded. But the transition was striking and quick. The late sixties and early seventies saw an explosion of new national legislation on social and environmental issues, that often provided explicitly or implicitly for citizen …
Supplemental Environmental Projects Have Been Effectively Used In Citizen Suits To Deter Future Violations As Well As To Achieve Significant Additional Environmental Benefits, Edward Lloyd
Faculty Scholarship
Supplemental Environmental Projects (SUPs) are environmentally benefical projects included in settlements of environmental law enforcement cases. Courts have addressed SEPs in two contexts: where proposed by parties in consent decrees and where courts have fashioned SEPs as apart of the relief ordered in an enforcement case. SEPs have been extensively used in both government and citizen enforcement cases despite the nearly universal absence of any explicit legislative authorization by Congress. Congress has tangentially recognized the place of SEPs in the penalty and deterrence scheme by giving the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Attorney General …
Judging Environmental Law, Richard J. Lazarus
Judging Environmental Law, Richard J. Lazarus
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The title of this Essay, "Judging Environmental Law," evokes several different themes. On the one hand, the title presents an occasion to discuss the role of judges in environmental law. On the other hand, it offers an opportunity to judge environmental law itself: whether environmental law is guilty, as charged by some in industry, of overreaching in its regulatory requirements; or, whether environmental law is instead guilty, as charged by some environmentalists, of underreaching, by failing to address pressing pollution control and natural resource management concerns. Finally, the title of the Essay possibly presents an occasion for a more theoretical …
Private Property And The Politics Of Environmental Protection, Thomas W. Merrill
Private Property And The Politics Of Environmental Protection, Thomas W. Merrill
Faculty Scholarship
Private property plays two opposing roles in stories about the environment. In the story favored by most environmentalists, private property is the bad guy. It balkanizes an interconnected ecosystem into artificial units of individual ownership. Owners of these finite parcels have little incentive to invest in ecosystem resources and every incentive to dump polluting wastes onto other parcels. Only by relocating control over natural resources in some central authority like the federal government, can we make integrated decisions designed to preserve the health of the entire ecosystem. For these traditional environmentalists, private property is the problem; public control is the …
