United States Pollution Control Laws, Jeffrey G. Miller

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The environmental assessment process established by NEPA has been a success and was a step forward on the path of integrating environmental and economic policy. The national pollution abatement laws that were adopted in the decade after NEPA, however, operate in a very different fashion. They, too, have been very successful in a number of important respects, but have achieved less than we had hoped for because of certain flaws in their design. To analyze these laws for us, I would like to introduce another colleague, Professor Jeffery Miller, who has also travelled in Argentina. In fact, Professor Miller conducted …

Nafta And The Environment: A Proposal For Free Trade In Hazardous Waste Between The United States And Mexico Symposium - The Environment And The United States-Mexico Border., David W. Eaton

St. Mary's Law Journal

Over the past decade, the transboundary movement of hazardous waste has become an important issue. Because of its geographic proximity to the United States and its desire to attract foreign investment, Mexico has become one of the United States-owned maquiladoras’ favorite dumping grounds. The recent North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) may only exacerbate matters. Because the health and environmental risks associated with the inappropriate disposal of hazardous waste knows no boundaries, it is important NAFTA signatories jointly address waste issues. While NAFTA has had a positive impact on environmental protection in the United States and Mexico, the NAFTA debate …

Achieving Environmental Justice: The Role Of Occupational Health, George Friedman-Jiménez, M.D.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The current rapidly growing interest in environmental justice is both timely and important. Occupational health is an integral part of assuring environmental justice. Concrete examples of environmental inequity leading directly to unequal health status can be found in occupational health literature and among the patients of occupational health clinics which serve populations that include low wage workers and workers of color. The toxic properties and health effects of many environmental contaminants were originally discovered in workplace settings where workers were repeatedly exposed to high doses of such contaminants. In the future, clinical occupational medicine, occupational epidemiology, occupational toxicology, and occupational …

The End Of The World News (Symposium: Twenty-Five Years Of Environmental Regulation), James E. Krier

Articles

My title, but nothing else, owes to Anthony Burgess.' I like the ambiguity of Burgess's words. They could be a play on what an anchor says when she brings the night's news of the world to a close ("and that's the end of.. ."), or they could be the name of a doomsday periodical, or a headline announcing the bankruptcy of a tabloid, or, at the extreme, a reference to the end of the world. For my purposes, however, they signify the end of an era.

Marketable Pollution Allowances (Great Lakes Symposium), James E. Krier

Articles

In March 1993, the EPA auctioned off 150,010 sulfer dioxide emissions permits at the Chicago Board of Trade. The auction brought in $21.4 million and ushered in the Clean Air Act's market-based approach to sulfur dioxide control. Congress created these marketable pollution allowances (MPAs) under Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 19903 to regulate acid rain pollution. While most MPAs were bought by utilities, to be exchanged as a commodity according to need, some MPAs were removed from the market solely to prevent their use by polluters. The Cleveland-based National Healthy Air License Exchange bought one allowance …

The Real Acid Test Of Title Iv Of The Clean Air Act Amendments Of 1990: External Cost Justifications Not Related To Acid Deposition Control, James R. May

James R. May

One of the principal objectives of the Clean Air Act Amendments Act of 1990, contained in Title IV, is to control acid deposition by reducing the air emissions of sulfur dioxides (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) released by many fossil fuel-fired steam-electric generating utility units. A report recently issued by the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP), called the Integrated Assessment (NAPAP IA), casts formidable doubts upon Title IV's efficacy by suggesting that the relationship between Title IV and the mitigation of the adverse effects of acid deposition in environmentally sensitive areas is too attenuated to warrant the nationally pervasive …

Coke Oven Emissions: A Case Study Of Technology-Based Regulation, John D. Graham, David R. Holtgrave

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

After examining and analyzing the experience with coke ovens, the authors conclude that attempts to force technology beyond its demonstrated competence can be both expensive and ineffective in controlling hazards. They also suggest implications for pending proposals to further control air pollution.

Small Automobiles Causing Large Air Pollution Problems On A Global Basis: The European Economic Community Can Learn And Live From United States Legislation, Christopher E. Mohney

Penn State International Law Review

This Comment will first examine current United States policy, standards, and regulation of the emissions dispelled by moving vehicles. Second, an introduction to the European Economic Community (EEC) standard will be set forth, followed by a brief discussion on legislative harmonization within the EEC. An analysis of the existing policy for the regulation of vehicle emissions within the Community will also be presented. Finally, since the proposed integration of the EEC is a key step on the way to creation of a "United States of Europe," the United States and EEC policies will be comparatively examined.

The Debate Over The Adequacy Of The United States Approach To Acid Deposition: The Electric Utility Industry Perspective, Michael L. Teague, Maida O. Lerner, Mel S. Schulze, Norman W. Fichthorn

West Virginia Law Review

Following some introductory remarks, this paper analyzes the issues of the acid deposition debate in two parts. First, it provides the electric utility industry perspective on the adequacy of the United States' current approach to air quality regulation. Second, it analyzes the recent litigation brought by the environmentalists in an effort to explain why their litigation strategy has been unsuccessful. Concern about the effect of the air pollution attendant with the industrial development of the United States has spawned massive efforts by the public and private sectors to establish and comply with requirements for environmental protection. Even though these efforts …
