The Superfund Manual: A Practitioner's Guide to Cercla Litig

A current guidebook to the cases and issues that are central to litigating under CERCLA, this book analyzes key issues primarily from the perspective of the PRPs (potentially responsible parties) who are involved with Superfund claims and litigation. An experienced attorney who specializes in this area of law, author Peter L. Gray also describes current and evolving regulations, guidance and judicial interpretations to assist the CERCLA practitioner, and includes "practice tips" offering deeper insights into key litigation issues. Topics covered include: government response authority under Section 104; remedy selection standards and procedures; abatement authority; liability issues, including causation, defenses, and types of recoverable costs; settlement; judicial review; insurance and bankruptcy; and more.
