Written for engineers, as well as business managers and the legal profession, this book discusses the technical and legal issues surrounding the use, handling, and disposal of all types of hazardous materials regulated by federal statutes such as NEPA, OSHA, RCRA, CERCLA, SARA, and FIFRA. This comprehensive review details the enforceability, corporate liability and legal defenses that are currently available with regard to the various statutory and regulatory requirements for hazardous materials. By emphasizing the legal issues, this book enables its users to cope with the complex maze of federal statutes and regulations, adapt easily to future regulatory changes, and avoid penalties for non-compliance.
