This book will help you decipher and understand the complex multitude of issues, statutes, agency regulations, and court decisions that make up environmental law. It breaks down the primary topics of environmental, land use, climate change, and energy law into key concepts and rules, and then it reassembles them in a format that makes them easier to work with. ... Each chapter is intended to ground you in the technical, legal, scientific, and policy aspects of real-world environmental law practice. In addition, each chapter provides questions with answers, or Examples and Explanations, that place you in the position of counsel to corporations, environmental groups, the government, or lenders, and in the position of prosecutor or environmental policymaker, to help you see how the law applies in real situations. This information is detailed enough to provide a complete foundation even for advanced-level environmental, land use, climate change, and energy law courses." -- Environmental ethics, standards, markets, and the common law -- Administrative procedure for environmental regulation -- The National Environmental Policy Act -- Constitutional issues: the Commerce Clause and environmental preemption -- Air quality regulation -- Water pollution -- Rights to use water -- The management of hazardous and solid wastes: RCRA -- The superfund: hazardous substance remediation -- Local environmental controls -- Preservation of natural areas: wetlands and open space -- Energy and the environment -- The Endangered Species Act -- TSCA and FIFRA: regulating chemical manufacture and distribution -- International environmental law specialized Steven Ferrey.
