The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (Summer Conference, June 6-8)

Conference organizers and/or faculty included University of Colorado School of Law professors James N. Corbridge, Lawrence J. MacDonnell, David H. Getches and Charles F. Wilkinson.

This important piece of legislation, passed by Congress in 1976 following many years of extensive study and debate, directs the activities of the nation's major land manager--the Bureau of Land Management. The FLPMA conference will bring together a distinguished group of experts to review the law itself, to consider the effectiveness with which it has been implemented, and to discuss the key issues which have arisen under its implementation.

The International Law Of Pollution: Protecting The Global Environment In A World Of Sovereign States, Bruce H. Wildsmith

Dalhousie Law Journal

A good book must have focus. This may not be the only criteria for evaluating a book, but it is certainly a sine qua non. A scholarly work such as Professor Springer's is a means of communicating ideas; the sharper its focus the clearer the message of its author and the better it and he communicates. When reading this book I wondered about its focus: was there a central unified objective? Having now completed the book, I can see that the author has painted us a useful, but blurred picture. He has not quite brought into focus his objective; much …

Ixtoc I: Case Study Of A Major Oil Spill, Peter G. Myer

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The most disastrous oil spill the western hemisphere has ever witnessed occurred during the 10 months between June 1979 and March 1980, when the experimental well IXTOC I blew out off the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The disaster's effects on South Texas virtually destroyed a year's earnings for the region's tourism industry and cut into the profits of many commercial fishermen. The activities at the well that caused the blowout and subsequent spill, the effects of the oil on Texas' Gulf Coast, and the legal attempts to recover against losses suffered as a result of the spill will be …

Taking Precedents In The Tidelands: Refocusing On Eminent Domain, W. Wade Berryhill

Law Faculty Publications

The focus of this article is on the state's power of eminent domain as a means of controlling the use of scarce coastal resources. However, in order to determine whether this rather drastic exercise of governmental power is the most appropriate means of effecting its purposes, the state or its delegate must consider the alternatives. This article therefore will first examine briefly other possible means of control; it will then discuss the substantive and procedural requirements of eminent domain; and finally, it will consider problems of post-acquisition resource management.

The Reemergence Of Nuisance Law In Environmental Litigation, Alan Weinstein

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

In the summer of 1980, Chicago's beaches were fouled by raw and inadequately treated sewage, allegedly discharged into Lake Michigan by the Hammond (Indiana) Sanitary District. Clearly, Illinois and Chicago officials wanted to stop pollution of the lake. Surprisingly, they turned to the common law of nuisance, rather than to a regulatory agency or a statutory citizens' suit to obtain relief, charging the city of Hammond and the sanitary district with violations of the Illinois common law of nuisance. While planners are generally familiar with the application of common law nuisance doctrines to resolve disputes between conflicting uses of land, …

The United Nations And The Environment: Sometimes A Great Notion?, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

This article presents an historical retrospective of the efforts of the United Nations to deal, rather unsuccessfully, with the global environment.

Today, as in the late 1970’s and the 1980’s, the success of transnational environmental programs cannot be measured within an isolated prism; but, rather, with a realization of resource interdependence. There is no over-arching principle of shared responsibility among the states which acknowledges an obligation for them to compromise sovereignty in the name of promoting the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). The UN’s global protection plan, as it emerged from the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and …

Judicial Development Of Standards Of Liability In Government Enforcement Actions Under The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation And Liability Act, Stephen Q. Giblin, Dennis M. Kelly

Cleveland State Law Review

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) represents the first major attempt on a national level to address the problem of abandoned hazardous waste sites. CERCLA permits an action to be brought in federal court for recovery of amounts disbursed from the Superfund against, inter alia, any person who arranges for treatment or disposal of wastes at a site, typically the generator of the hazardous wastes. CERCLA's enforcement provisions contain numerous ambiguities and apparent inconsistencies on issues that directly affect the potential liability of CERCLA's defendants. Many of the inadequacies probably can be traced to the …

The New York State Environmental Quality Review Act Of 1975: An Analysis Of The Parties' Responsibilities In The Review/Permit Request Process, Gerald M. Levine

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) was enacted in 1975 in order to declare a state policy which encourages "productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his environment." SEQRA commanded agencies to fulfill it policies and goals, and established a new layer of procedures to be followed as a prerequisite to permit issuance where the proposed action may have a significant affect on the environment. Further, SEQRA directed the Commissioner of Environmental Conservation to adopt rules and regulations to implement these policies, with which state and local agencies must comply. In particular, before a person may undertake …

When Is One Generator Liable For Another's Waste, Kenneth C. Moore, Kathiann M. Kowalski

Cleveland State Law Review

Since the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund Act) was adopted as a compromise bill by the lame duck Congress in December of 1980, companies that generated and disposed of hazardous wastes at off-site facilities have been seriously concerned about the question of when one company can be held liable for clean-up and other response costs associated with another company's wastes. Two issues are central to the question of when one generator may be liable for another's waste: 1) whether and to what extent a causal connection must be shown to exist between a generator's waste …

Does Nepa Matter? - An Analysis Of The Historical Development And Contemporary Significance Of The National Environmental Policy Act, Kenneth M. Murchison

University of Richmond Law Review

When President Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on January 1, 1970, he declared that the new statute marked the arrival of the time for environmental action. The quantatitive measures of legislative and judicial activity during the ensuing decade suggest that he accurately captured the mood of the times, for the 1970's produced a flurry of new and amended statutes as well as a veritable explosion in environmental litigation. As a result of this burst of energy, environmental law has emerged as an important legal speciality that now commands the attention of law schools, government lawyers, and the …

The Role Of Localities In The Transportation And Disposal Of Nuclear Wastes, Marvin Swift, Mars M. Wicker

University of Richmond Law Review

Transportation and disposal of nuclear wastes brings the apprehensions associated with nuclear power into close physical and psychological proximity to many Americans. The subject of transportation comes with its own set of problems, including potential accidents, packaging, routing, security, sabotage, and special agency actions. Common to all of these problems is the element of the unknown. "Clearly nuclear shipments pre- sent some kind of public health hazard, not necessarily as great as some other activities do and .. .the nature of that hazard is not known precisely."

Environmental Policy Law In The 1980'S: Shifting Back The Burden Of Proof, Martin H. Belsky

Akron Law Faculty Publications

This article will describe the legal and policy burdens of proof applicable to environmental decision-making and the shifts that have occurred in allocating those burdens. The initial change occurred when common-law principles gave way to a pro-protection legal framework established during an "environmental era." The second change occurred more recently when a new environmental policy law agenda was set. Through regulatory reforms, policy alterations, statutory proposals and budgetary and personnel actions, the federal executive is now seeking to develop a more pro-development structure and again place the burden of proof on those seeking to secure government action to protect the …
