The Twilight Of Land-Use Controls: A Paradigm Shift?, Charles M. Haar

University of Richmond Law Review

The subject chosen for this discussion is both timely and thought-provoking: the status and future of land-use regulations in the United States. In the hope of making the issues subsumed under this title as exciting to the general public as they are to the practitioners, Professor Michael Allan Wolf has taken the monumental Euclid decision of the United States Supreme Court in 1926 as the pivot of our deliberations. He has posed the question most dramatically with overtones of a swelling Wagnerian overture: "Is It The Twilight of Environmental and Land-Use Regulation?"

A Model For Teaching Environmental Justice In A Planning Curriculum, Robert O. Washington, Denise Strong

College of Urban and Public Affairs (CUPA) Working Papers, 1991-2000

The communicative approach to planning (especially represented by Forester 1985, 1989, 1993) has offered an alternative approach to practicing planners (Lauria & Whelan 1995) uncomfortable with an instrumental rationality that leaves values undiscussed or unspecified. By recognizing that all forms of knowledge are socially constructed it accepts that values are not predetermined but are established in the communicative process itself. The examination of what planners do has revealed the role that planners can play in facilitating or hindering such communication (Healey 1992, 1996, Innes 1995, Forester 1994, Lauria & Soll 1996). This body of work draws on insights gained by …

The Mescalero Apache Indians And Monitored Retrievable Storage Of Spent Nuclear Fuel: A Study In Environmental Ethics, Noah M. Sachs

Law Faculty Publications

The proposal of the Mescalero Apache Indians of New Mexico to host a nuclear waste storage facility raised difficult questions about political sovereignty, environmental justice, and democratic consent. While the proposal had numerous drawbacks and deserved to be opposed, many of the arguments used against it were conceptually flawed and paternalistic. Arguments decrying bribery of a poor community were particularly weak, while those criticizing targeting of Indian tribes by the United States government and coercion of tribal members by the Mescalero leadership had more merit. The core ethical arguments should be separated from the rhetoric so that policy makers, Native …

Comparative Risk Assessment In New York, Michael B. Gerrard, Deborah Goldberg

Faculty Scholarship

Comparative risk assessment (CRA) is the examination of the relative risks posed by different dangers, with a view to deciding which dangers deserve the most governmental attention. CRA frequently tries to reduce different problems to a common metric, usually the statistical lives saved by a program, so that apples can be weighed against oranges. This article will discuss and assess the growing use of CRA in New York State.

There are two principal arguments for the use of CRA in the environmental context. The first is that we do not have unlimited resources; we cannot move against all problems simultaneously. …

Environmental Injustice: Evidence And Economic Implications, Heidi Y. Willers

University Avenue Undergraduate Journal of Economics

Some economic analyses find evidence of environmental injustice--minorities and/or low-income persons are exposed to environmental dangers (locally undesirable land uses, or LULUs) more than their non-minority or more affluent counterparts. Such inefficient allocations result from a violation of perfect property rights. This paper does not determine efficient levels of various environmental dangers, but rather examines and compares several studies in an effort to find a consensus among researchers. No consensus emerges, as differences in research techniques prevent consistent results from being found. Future research must have well-defined methodologies before it can be effectively used by policy makers.

The Impact Of Information Channels And Message Attributes On Dimensions Of Risk Judgment, Sharon Dunwoody, Kurt Neuwirth, Robert J. Griffin

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

Data from a field survey and an experiment were used to explore factors associated with forming judgments about risk, worry and seriousness of threats. Results from the survey indicate that topic-specific media attention and topic-specific interpersonal discussion are linked to cognitive and affective risk judgments about both self and others. Findings from the experiment provide evidence that the severity and likelihood of a hazard combine to influence judgments about a problem’s seriousness to others.

From Comparative Risk To Decision Analysis: Ranking Solutions To Multiple-Value Environmental Problems, John Kadvany

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

While recognizing that the making of environmental policy is sufficiently complex that no one method can serve all conditions, Dr. Kadvany urges that more attention be given to multiattribute utility and decision analysis. He suggests this can help, e.g., to illuminate stakeholder values and generate alternative approaches.

Ranking Risk Inequities, John D. Graham, Elizabeth Richardson

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Comparing recent data on age-adjusted death rates for blacks and whites, the authors attempt to clarify how ranking risks based on degree of inequity might differ from ranking them according to frequency of health impairments in the overall population. They also identify problems in choosing a method for ranking causes of death that incorporates both frequency and equity and suggest that agreement will be difficult to reach.

Pennsylvania V. Conroy: Expanded Administrative Expense Priority For State-Funded Cercla Cleanups Note, Seth M. Mandelbaum

Pace Environmental Law Review

In Pennsylvania v. Conroy, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the decision of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The court held that cleanup expenses incurred by a state environmental agency to remove the threat posed by hazardous wastes should be treated as administrative expenses under the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Third Circuit afforded state response costs high priority when the assets of the bankruptcy estate were distributed. In addition, this case expanded prior decisions by holding that administrative and legal costs incurred by a state agency, usually around 10% …
