Cargo Of Fire: A Call For Stricter Regulation Of Liquefied Natural Gas Shipment And Storage, Philip Weinberg

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The imminent prospect of importation of large quantities of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through congested harbors and its storage in huge tanks in densely-populated urban areas provides a classic instance of our technological reach exceeding our grasp. The severe danger of widespread fire impels an exhaustive examination of the need to import LNG through busy harbors and to store it within cities. Such conveyance and storage expose millions of persons and millions of dollars of property to extraordinary harm. Three aspects of proposed importation of LNG are particularly disturbing: (1) the federal government's insistence on promoting LNG importation prior to …

The Clean Air Act: Taking A Stick To The States, Karen Hammack

Cleveland State Law Review

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the Clean Air Act of 1970, this Note will first examine how one heavily industrialized state has responded to "having a stick taken to it." Additionally, the federal-state relations which have resulted from the shift in emphasis from state to federal control, and industry's onslaught on the courts for judicial review of actions taken by both federal and state agencies will be examined. In particular, the central role which the sulfur dioxide standards have played will serve to illustrate some of the areas in which the Clean Air Act has encountered difficulties. "Sulfur …

Urban Environmental Law: Emergent Citizens' Rights For The Aesthetic, The Spiritual, And The Spacious, Nicholas A. Robinson

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The issues in environmental law have been largely directed toward the natural environment, however, very recently and with growing force, new law has been channeled into the service of our nation's urban centers. Traditionally, urban environmental law included only broad schemes to redress urban ills, such as zoning laws, public housing programs, and urban renewal. In the past few years, there has been an increase in the development of personally held and asserted citizens rights to a quality urban environment. While articles on the urban environment often deal with statutory and administrative action, this article presents a different perspective, that …

Footnote To The Nuclear Test Cases: Abuse Of Right--A Blind Alley For Environmentalists, Jerome B. Elkind

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In a recent article entitled "French Nuclear Tests and Article 41: Another Blow to the Authority of the Court," the author questioned the approach of the learned Judges of the International Court of Justice to article 41 of the Court's Statute. The title of that article was intended to deplore the recent tendency of States (most particularly France, but also Iceland) who are parties to the Statute of the International Court of Justice to arrogate to themselves the right to determine whether the Court has jurisdiction...

The judgment of December 20, 1974 is but one more example of the extremes …

Judicial Policy-Making And Information Flow To The Supreme Court, Charles M. Lamb

Vanderbilt Law Review

This article is intended as an exploratory step toward filling the gap in the literature by synthesizing the fragmentary knowledge relating to judicial information flow. It attempts to advance the dialogue initiated by Professors Miller and Barron by providing a number of components necessary for an adequate model; it seeks also to suggest additional considerations necessary for a more useful model and thus for a continuing systematic inquiry into the information flow process. Results of the Miller-Barron article supply the background for the work reported here. Times, Roe, and Doe and the Miller-Barron findings are considered in the first two …

The Extraterritorial Scope Of Nepa's Environmental Impact Statement Requirement, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note analyzes the extent to which NEPA's section 102(2) procedural requirements, specifically the impact statement requirement of section 102(2) (C), apply to federal agencies in their activities abroad. After determining that Congress does possess the authority to extend the requirements of NEPA to all federal agency actions, and that legislative intent will thus control the territorial scope of these requirements, consideration will be given to the presumption against the extraterritorial application of congressional enactments. It will be concluded that a "clear statement" of congressional intent is not required in the case of NEPA and that the scope of the …

The Flood Disaster Protection Act Of 1973: A Rational Approach To Flood Damage Prevention, Larry J. Wilson

IUSTITIA

Throughout history, man has utilized rivers for water supply, transportation, power generation, and waste disposal. This strong relationship has encouraged the location of human settlements near rivers and streams despite the risk of periodic flooding. The modern technology of transportation and public services has reduced the necessity for riverside locations, but the development of flood plains in urban areas has continued, resulting in the periodic loss of human life and property when flooding has occurred. Within the United States, flooding has taken over 5000 lives in the last fifty years and causes an estimated $1.25 billion in property damages annually.' …

Collective Hindsight: A Review Of The Grass Roots Primer, Jenifer Robison

IUSTITIA

What do you do when the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers announces that its solution to the hurricane "problem" in New York (four major hurricanes in 200 years) is to build a wall around Coney Island? How do you fight it when a local landowner secures a zoning variance so he can open a game farm whose main access (for its projected 300,000 visitors in 100,000 cars) is the only street in your tiny village? In the days before the citizen's suit provisions of the present environmental laws there was very little recourse for people outraged by plans like …
