Environmental Law Handbook Hardcover - 2009

From the publisher

The environmental field and its regulations have evolved significantly since Congress passed the first environmental law in 1970, and the Environmental Law Handbook, published just three years later, has been indispensable to students and professionals ever since. The authors provide clear and accessible explanations, expert legal insight into new and evolving regulations, and reliable compliance and management guidance. Thirty-six years later, the Environmental Law Handbook continues to provide individuals across the country-professionals, professors, and students-with a comprehensive, up-to-date, and easy-to-read look at the 14 major environmental, health, and safety laws affecting U.S. businesses and organizations. Because it is written by 15 of the country's leading environmental law firms, you receive the best, most reliable guidance anywhere. Both professional environmental managers and students aspiring to careers in environmental management should keep the Environmental Law Handbook within arm's reach for thoughtful answers to regulatory questions like: - How do I ensure compliance with the regulations? -How do the latest environmental developments impact my operations? - How do we keep our operations efficient and our community safe? This handbook begins with chapters on the fundamentals of environmental law and on issues of enforcement and liability. It then dives headfirst into the major laws, examining their history, scope, and requirements with a chapter devoted to each. You couldn't hire an attorney to help you with your compliance needs for $99, but with the Environmental Law Handbook-celebrating its 20th update-you can access guidance from 15 expert environmental law firms for just that. Understanding regulations has never been so easy or affordable.
