The Relationship Of Federal Income Taxes To Toxic Wastes: A Selective Study, Richard A. Westin

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

More demanding federal regulation, universal local opposition to waste treatment and disposal facilities, and increased long-term liabilities for waste sites have substantially restricted the supply of licensed waste handlers and have sharply increased the costs of waste disposal. As a result of increased costs and downstream liabilities for cleanup, industrial generators have begun to examine more closely their waste management practices and opportunities they may have to reduce the amount of hazardous waste they generate.

Since the facts will differ from case to case, no single strategy can be recommended although a number are suggested. The following discussion of possible legal defenses is by no means exhaustive. The government's announced intentions and attitudes are examined, together with some of the relevant forces at work on and in the government. From considering the facts, possible defenses, are probable government reactions, strategies can be developed and tactics …
