Hydraulic Fracturing And The Baseline Testing Of Groundwater, Keith B. Hall
Hydraulic Fracturing And The Baseline Testing Of Groundwater, Keith B. Hall
University of Richmond Law Review
This article discusses some of the legal and practical issues relating to baseline testing of groundwater and the rules designed to encourage or require such testing. Part I of the article discusses basic background material why this issue is important, what fracturing is and why it is used, the basic types of fracturing, why it can be challenging to determine the cause of alleged contamination, and why baseline testing might help. Part II examines different approaches to increasing the use of baseline testing, including regulations that require such testing and legislation that creates presumptions that provide incentives to conduct such …

Reconciling Energy And Food Security Law, Rhett B. Larson
Reconciling Energy And Food Security Law, Rhett B. Larson
University of Richmond Law Review
This article argues that making "water security" a more predominant policy aim can help reconcile and integrate energy security and food security. Water security is the condition of a nation and its citizens having reasonable physical and economic access to sufficient and sustainable water, combined with acceptable levels of water-related risks (e.g., drought, flood, and water-related plagues).

Checking In On The Chesapeake: Some Questions Of Design, Jonathan Cannon
Checking In On The Chesapeake: Some Questions Of Design, Jonathan Cannon
University of Richmond Law Review
The Chesapeake Bay Program ("the CBP" or "Program") has been widely celebrated as a model of collaborative management for large multijurisdictional watersheds and for ecosystem management more generally.' In an article published six years ago, I joined in the celebration.2 But recent events warrant consideration of whether restructuring of the program is called for. In this essay, I consider whether greater centralization of decisionmaking for the Bay would address recent criticisms of the Program and better protect the public interest. After evaluating two alternative forms for the Program involving greater centralization, I conclude that major restructuring is not in order. …
Book Review- Turning The Tide: Saving The Chesapeake Bay, Carl W. Tobias
Book Review- Turning The Tide: Saving The Chesapeake Bay, Carl W. Tobias
University of Richmond Law Review
Nearly a quarter century ago, the states of the Chesapeake Bay region entered a compact by which they meant to improve the declining environmental quality of this national treasure. Concerned about the Bay's accelerating degradation, these jurisdictions hoped that the agreement would enhance the situation or at least stop the deterioration. Ten years after that accord's consummation, Tom Horton evaluated whether progress had been achieved in improving the Bay's environmental health. The writer determined that the answer was inconclusive. When a second decade had passed since the compact's adoption, Horton decided that he would conduct another examination to determine what …
Drinking From A Deep Well: The Public Trust Doctrine And Western Water Law, Carol N. Brown
Drinking From A Deep Well: The Public Trust Doctrine And Western Water Law, Carol N. Brown
Law Faculty Publications
American water law reflects the diverse geography and population patterns of this expansive country.1 In the eastern states, where water is rather abundant, the doctrine of riparian rights dominates water law.2 The arid western states, in contrast, rejected the doctrine of riparian rights in favor of the doctrine of prior appropriation due to a natural scarcity of water and increasing population growth.3 The western states provide fertile ground to consider the burdens of a rapidly growing region on already scarce water resources.4 My thesis is that the public trust doctrine is being underutilized by the states and that the optimal …

Virginia's Waters: Still At Risk - A Critique Of The Commonwealth's Water Quality Assessment Reports, Chesapeake Bay Foundation
Virginia's Waters: Still At Risk - A Critique Of The Commonwealth's Water Quality Assessment Reports, Chesapeake Bay Foundation
Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest
Federal law requires all states to periodically report to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the water quality of their rivers, lakes and streams and provide EPA with a listing of polluted waters. Virginia has recently prepared two reports for 1996 and boasts that only 5 percent of the Commonwealth's rivers are polluted. Under closer inspection, this information is found to be extremely misleading due to a number of serious gaps and flaws within Virginia's water quality monitoring program and its methods of data reporting and evaluation. When Virginia states that only 5 percent of the waters it monitors fail …
