The topic may be divided into two major subjects: (1) pollution control and remediation ,(2) resource conservation and management. Laws dealing with pollution are often media-limited - i.e., pertain only to a single environmental medium, such as air, water (whether surface water, groundwater or oceans), soil, etc. - and control both emissions of pollutants into the medium, as well as liability for exceeding permitted emissions and responsibility for cleanup. Laws regarding resource conservation and management generally focus on a single resource - e.g.

Environmental policy of the United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from United States environmental law Jump to: navigation search The environmental policy of the United States is federal governmental action to regulate activities that have an environmental impact in the United States. The goal of environmental policy is to protect the environment for future generations while interfering as little as possible with the efficiency of commerce or the liberty of the people and to limit inequity in who is burdened with environmental costs. This policy grew mainly out of the environmental movement in the United States in the 1960s and '70's during which several environmental laws were passed, regulating air and water pollution and forming the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Partially due to the high costs associated with these regulations, there has been a backlash from business and politically conservative interests, limiting increases to environmental regulatory budgets and slowing efforts to protect the environment. Since the 1970s, despite frequent legislative gridlock, there have been significant achievements in environmental regulation, including increases in air and water quality and to a lesser degree, control of hazardous waste . Due to increasing scientific consensus on global warming and political pressure from environmental groups, modifications to the

Environmental law as a distinct system arose in the 1960s in the major industrial economies as it was becoming clear that the cumulative negative environmental effects of human activities were becoming unsustainable in the long term. This new field of law has often been hampered by a lack both of institutions and of a common public will supporting enforcement of the laws. Environmental law rests on the recognition of a new relation of humans with the environment, a relation in which humans explicitly value the biosphere, no longer assuming that the environment's natural capital can be either freely consumed or freely used for the dumping of wastes. The emergence of environmental law in the twentieth century marks a fundamental shift in human consciousness toward the recognition ultimately that humanity is one family bound together on one planet and jointly responsible to use the environment without destroying it. With many people still committed to their right to freely exploit the environment to their own needs without regard for larger, cumulative effects, environmental law and the institutions supporting its enforcement are still under development.

Environmental law is a “belt-and-suspenders” collection of laws that work together and often overlap in areas. Federal Law Federal Law: The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was passed in 1970 along with the Environmental Quality Improvement Act, the National Environmental Education Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The main objective of these federal enactments was to assure that the environment be protected against both public and private actions that failed to take account of costs or harms inflicted on the eco-system. The EPA is supposed to monitor and analyze the environment, conduct research, and work closely with state and local governments to devise pollution control policies. NEPA (really enacted in 1969) has been described as one of Congress's most far reaching environmental legislation ever passed. The basic purpose of NEPA is to force governmental agencies to consider the effects of their decisions on the environment.

The state and federal government have enacted many laws to protect individuals and the environment from the devastating effects of pollution, including the Clean Water and Clean Air acts. However, enforcement is often lax and damage often occurs before agencies charged with enforcements discover violations. Experienced Lawyers Handling Environmental Law Matters Many industries in Texas such as the petrochemical industry, refineries, as well as farmers and ranchers knowingly violate environmental laws, placing the health of the environment and people at risk. These violations include illegally dumping releasing toxic byproducts into waterways, emitting toxic waste from smoke stacks, and improperly disposing of livestock waste and the byproducts of slaughter. Our Texas environmental law attorneys have extensive experience investigating the cause of illnesses that result from environmental pollution and tracing them back to their cause. Some of the common injures and illnesses associated with environmental contamination include dermatological problems, respiratory problems, and cancer. In addition, environmental pollution often causes serious property damage and contaminates local water supplies.
