Environmental Liability Allocation: Law and Practice, 2009 ed.

Cost allocation is one of the most complex and uncertain areas of multiparty environmental disputes. This book provides a one-stop practical reference devoted entirely to the specialized subject of environmental allocation. It combines an in-depth discussion of shared responsibility for environmental cleanup, emphasizing the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), with practical litigation tips and a comprehensive set of easy-to-follow legal forms. Co-authored by experienced environmental attorneys and a nationally recognized geologist, it explains in understandable terms the scientific principles that form the basis for the application of rules of law.
