This is a practical guide that aims to take the mystery out of environmental law and related land use controls. The book provides a synopsis of major environmental topics from A to Z and features citations to the major federal statutes in the United States Code (USC) and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), so the reader should be able to easily find governing statutes and regulations. Special sections discuss how to cope with the chemical right to know, guidelines for emergency managers to minimize liability, a checklist for compliance with the National Environmental Policy act, the use of experts in case preparation, and how to be an effective case witness. The book also covers tactics and strategies to cope with Superfund liability, hazardous waste management, and air and water pollution.
