This book, by one of the nation’s first environmental prosecutors, offers a detailed guide to environmental enforcement and the legal and practical problems that can arise. Environmental Enforcement: Civil and Criminal explains the dangers of civil and criminal enforcement efforts to members of the regulated community and sets out in the procedures to follow to minimize exposure.
Topics include: how to conduct an environmental self-audit; civil investigatory procedures in environmental law; civil enforcement under the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Clean Air Act, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to- Know Act (EPCRA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).
You’ll also find analysis of “government guidance documents”; contribution suits between “potentially responsible parties”; penalties and penalty policies; preliminary injunctions; citizen suits, defenses and awarding of attorney fees; the criminal process; the Department of Justice’s guidelines for pursuing criminal charges against corporations; criminal representation and defense; and audits to ensure compliance.
