This is the fifth book in a series that concentrates on basic information for the environmental law practitioner. In this instance, the focus is on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980.

Three important amendments to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, or Superfund) narrowed the Act's liability to address specific policy objectives. This book is a single-source compendium of this legislation, leading court decisions, and administrative implementation, including the annotated statute, EPA guidance documents, and CD-ROM with the entire legislative history of CERCLA.
