Environmental Restoration Guide

Abstract

Over the past 25 years, the field of environmental law has grown horn nearly non-existent to nearly overwhelming. Beginning with the Clean Air Act ("CM"), in 1970, and through the creation, implementation, or amendment of the Clean Water Act ("CWA"), the Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), and more, the scope of federal environmental law has expanded to fill literally thousands of pages of statutes, regulations, guidance Criteria, and other standards. Each new law and regulation adds to the layers of existing programs, creating overtime a patchwork of complex, often overlapping and sometimes even inconsistent requirements. These requirements make day-to-day compliance difficult, but they also confound efforts to plan for substantial change, such as modifications in shipyard facilities and operations.
