EPA entered into a proposed administrative settlement under CERCLA for the recovery of response costs incurred at the Absorbent Technologies site in Albany, Oregon.

This month, we present the Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review (ELPAR), published in partnership with Vanderbilt University Law School. ELPAR provides an annual forum for presentation and discussion of the best environmental law and policy-relevant ideas from the legal academic literature. ELPAR is designed to help bridge the gap between academic scholarship and environmental policymaking. This year’s ELPAR includes articles and commentaries on: using financial assurance mandates to reduce industrial risks associated with climate change; incorporating visual content into administrative rulemaking; developing new legal tools for collective impact agreements; the future of distributed generation; and relative administrability in environmental law.
