Underwater: The Need For Massachusetts To Become Climate Ready, Erica Mattison Jan 2013

Underwater: The Need For Massachusetts To Become Climate Ready, Erica Mattison

Florida A & M University Law Review

Massachusetts' longstanding vulnerability to flooding is on the verge of worsening due to expected impacts of climate change over the next several years. Although legislation has prompted the state to convene a multi-agency conversation on climate change adaptation, the work has yet to result in specific planning that will prime the state for reducing damage caused by flooding and other climate impacts. With renewed leadership, the state should prioritize flood risk in the policy agenda, launch a public awareness campaign, plan for infrastructure and state property investments, and facilitate municipal action. Since the issue cannot be adequately addressed by state …

The Private Role In Public Fracturing Disclosure And Regulation, Hannah J. Wiseman Jan 2013

The Private Role In Public Fracturing Disclosure And Regulation, Hannah J. Wiseman

Scholarly Publications

Abstract: Recent domestic growth in oil and gas natural gas production from shales and sandstones called “tight” formations—largely enabled by a modified technology called slickwater hydraulic fracturing—has driven both economic growth and environmental concerns. Public concerns have often focused on the chemicals used in the fracturing process, yet federal regulations requiring disclosure of chemicals are weak. In the midst of initial “threats” of federal intervention, industry—along with state regulators—developed a website that enabled chemical disclosure. State regulations later mandated disclosure through this website, or allowed it as one option within a mandatory disclosure regime. Independently, gas companies also have begun …

There’S Still A Chance: Why The Clean Air Act Does Not Preempt State Common Law Despite The Fourth Circuit’S Ruling In North Carolina V. Tva, Thomas J. Alves Jan 2013

There’S Still A Chance: Why The Clean Air Act Does Not Preempt State Common Law Despite The Fourth Circuit’S Ruling In North Carolina V. Tva, Thomas J. Alves

Hofstra Law Student Works

Many legal hurdles confront plaintiffs who assert common law public nuisance claims against energy companies in an effort to curtail their production of greenhouse gases (GHG’s). These include standing, political question, the dormant commerce clause, and federal preemption. This paper explores federal preemption of common law public nuisance claims by the Clean Air Act (CAA) and concludes that such common law claims remain viable. The Supreme Court’s ruling in International Paper Co. v. Ouellette, 479 U.S. 481 (1987) (Ouellette), combined with the textual, structural, and schematic similarities between the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the CAA, form the basis for …


Legitimacy, Adaptation And Resilience In Ecosystem Management, Barbara Cosens Jan 2013

Legitimacy, Adaptation And Resilience In Ecosystem Management, Barbara Cosens

Articles

Ecologists have made great strides in developing criteria for describing the resilience of an ecological system. In addition, expansion of that effort to social-ecological systems has begun the process of identifying changes to the social system necessary to foster resilience in an ecological system such as the use of adaptive management and integrated ecosystem management. However, these changes to governance needed to foster ecosystem resilience will not be adopted by democratic societies without careful attention to their effect on the social system itself. Delegation of increased flexibility for adaptive management to resource management agencies must include careful attention to assuring …

Environments, Externalities And Ethics: Compulsory Multinational And Transnational Corporate Bonding To Promote Accountability For Externalization Of Environmental Harm, Matthew A. Susson

Buffalo Environmental Law Journal

Developing nations often look to their bounty of natural resources or willing labor as a means of attracting international investors. While national and local governments frequently perceive the arrival of a multinational corporate presence as a boon to their economy, the potential for government instability ineffectiveness or corruption may facilitate environmentally exploitive corporate practices. Furthermore, residents of the subject nation may be left without proper legal recourse. Legislators have made various efforts in both the United States and abroad to propound Corporate Codes of Conduct to address such concerns, but despite laudable intentions, features of the increasingly global economy "accentuate …
