The Problem Of Environmental Monitoring, Eric Biber
The Problem Of Environmental Monitoring, Eric Biber
University of Colorado Law Review
Environmental law depends on the regular collection of accurate information about the state of the natural environment ("ambient monitoring") in order to assess the effectiveness of current regulatory and management policies and to develop new reforms. Despite the central role that ambient monitoring plays in environmental law and policy, the scholarly literature has almost ignored the question of whether and how effective ambient monitoring will take place-even though there is ample evidence that our current ambient monitoring data have extensive gaps and significant flaws. Moreover, the importance of ambient monitoring will only increase in the future with the shift to …

The Dormant Commerce Clause And Water Export: Toward A New Analytical Paradigm, Christine A. Klein
The Dormant Commerce Clause And Water Export: Toward A New Analytical Paradigm, Christine A. Klein
UF Law Faculty Publications
Facing water shortages, states struggle with competing impulses, desiring to restrict water exports to other states while simultaneously importing water from neighboring jurisdictions. In 1982, the Supreme Court weighed in on this issue through its seminal decision, Sporhase v. Nebraska ex rel. Douglas. Determining that groundwater is an article of commerce, the Court held invalid under the dormant Commerce Clause a provision of a Nebraska statute limiting water export. The issue has again come into the national spotlight, as the Tarrant Regional Water District of Texas has challenged Oklahoma legislation limiting water exports, and as Wind River L.L C …
Three Meta-Lessons Government And Industry Should Learn From The Bp Deepwater Horizon Disaster And Why They Will Not, Alyson C. Flournoy
Three Meta-Lessons Government And Industry Should Learn From The Bp Deepwater Horizon Disaster And Why They Will Not, Alyson C. Flournoy
UF Law Faculty Publications
There are many law and policy lessons to be learned from the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster and its aftermath. Some are lessons specific to the BP oil well blowout. Regrettably, Congress has failed to enact even these critical reforms, although some important regulatory reforms have been adopted. This Article focuses on three broader lessons that this disaster should also teach, but that are very unlikely to be learned; lessons that could help to reduce the risk of future disasters. These meta-lessons suggest the need to: (1) learn from the next disaster—not the last one; (2) learn from the blueprint of …

Images Of Force: The Power Of Maps In Community Development, Jill M. Fraley
Images Of Force: The Power Of Maps In Community Development, Jill M. Fraley
Scholarly Articles
Recent trends in critical geography have drawn attention to the secret political lives of maps. Beneath a veneer of abstraction and scientific neutrality, maps are deeply political devices, embedding within them perspectives on what is important in a community, what are assets and what are liabilities, what is central and what is marginal. By drawing on the historical example of the mapping work of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the United States, this article examines the power of maps in community development, land use planning and natural resource allocation. This examination yields a lesson in the significance of the maps …
Enforcing The Rules: Government And Citizen Oversight Of Mining, Erin Smith, Peter Rosenblum
Enforcing The Rules: Government And Citizen Oversight Of Mining, Erin Smith, Peter Rosenblum
Human Rights Institute
In recent history, mining has failed to deliver many of the benefits citizens expect, particularly in poorer nations rich in natural resources and high in hopes. Many of the reasons remain unclear. In some cases, the problem is linked to bad deals with mining companies. But no matter the quality of the deal, other problems arise from failure to effectively monitor and enforce the existing obligations. This report examines the monitoring of mining obligations, characterizes the main gaps, identifies policy options and good practices, and proposes practical ways for both government and civil society to improve monitoring and enforcement.

Newport's Mooring Regulations: Legal And Policy Analysis, Jenna Algee
Newport's Mooring Regulations: Legal And Policy Analysis, Jenna Algee
Sea Grant Law Fellow Publications
The legal and policy issues facing Newport as it revises and implements its ordinances are numerous. Most of the issues have not been squarely resolved for Rhode Island. While Newport may take guidance from other states, it will be Rhode Island's task going forward to define the reach of its Public Trust Doctine as applied to some novel issues raised by mooring administration. The benefit of the flexibility of the PTD is allowing smaller units of government like Newport to define their regulatory goals based on a locally-tailored balancing test of competing interests facing scarce ocean resources. This report was …

Climate Policy & U.S.-China Relations, Jason J. Czarnezki
Climate Policy & U.S.-China Relations, Jason J. Czarnezki
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The Chinese stance, that no cap on carbon emissions will ever exist no matter how high, may be a product of China's belief in a cold and hard, and potentially true, reality-that global economic power is paramount and will provide the only avenue to adapt to an inevitable climate crisis, as well as achieve the milestones of superpower status, many of which they have already achieved (e.g., Olympic Games, World Expo, United Nations Security Council). While China's policy remains problematic, as is United States' failure to lead in the international community on the issue of climate change, China's actions, while …
The Due Diligence Process And Its Impact On The Deal: A Primer On Bayoneting The Wounded, Alex Ritchie, A. John Davis
The Due Diligence Process And Its Impact On The Deal: A Primer On Bayoneting The Wounded, Alex Ritchie, A. John Davis
Faculty Scholarship
In earlier times of more rationale schedules, reasonable billing rates, and less client scrutiny over bills and efficiency, an associate could learn due diligence with a partner looking over her shoulder, offering wisdom and encouragement. In the modern age of instantaneous information, excessive billing rates, and unrealistic expectations, transactional firms devote too little attention to due diligence processes and training. The stresses, tensions and risks associated with due diligence only multiply in the context of the big deal – the high-stakes, all-asset, equity and merger transactions. This article seeks to provide insight into the due diligence process, particularly the big …
New Mexico’S Major Reservoirs: An Overview, Susan Kelly, Diego Urbina
New Mexico’S Major Reservoirs: An Overview, Susan Kelly, Diego Urbina
Water Matters!
This paper describes the salient facts about the major water storage reservoirs in New Mexico. For each reservoir, we address the purposes of water storage allowed by law, storage capacity, the responsible operating agency, and some key operational issues. This is by necessity a vast simplification of the topic.Books, articles, research reports, operation manuals, and other materials on these topics run into the hundreds. Millions of dollars have been spent on technical studies and computer models to understand,and sometimes alter, the operations of various dams and reservoirs.

Beyond Adjudication: Resolving International Resource Disputes In An Era Of Climate Change, Anna Spain
Beyond Adjudication: Resolving International Resource Disputes In An Era Of Climate Change, Anna Spain
Publications
This Article examines the role of international adjudication as a mechanism for resolving international disputes and promoting global peace and security in an era of climate change. The central claim is that adjudication has limitations that make it ineffective as a tool for resolving international resource disputes. The Article argues that adjudication is limited due to source and process challenges and it illustrates this claim by reviewing cases adjudicated by the International Court of Justice, the Permanent Court of Arbitration and other international courts and tribunals. Four categories of adjudication limitation emerge: a) cases where the parties refused to submit …
Buried Treasure Or Buried Hope? The Status Of Mexico-U.S. Transboundary Aquifers Under International Law, Gabriel E. Eckstein
Buried Treasure Or Buried Hope? The Status Of Mexico-U.S. Transboundary Aquifers Under International Law, Gabriel E. Eckstein
Faculty Scholarship
Transboundary aquifers found along the 2,000 mile-long border between Mexico and the United States are not governed by any treaty. Yet, these aquifers are the primary source of water for many of the twelve million people who live in this parched region. The region’s groundwater, however, is being over-exploited and contaminated, which is threatening the very life that it currently sustains. As populations continue to expand and current rates of haphazard development persist, the absence of an agreement for the management and allocation of this critical resource could lead to bi-national economic, social and environmental tragedies. This study reviews groundwater …
