CERCLA Has Played Role in Changing Environmental Behavior, Lawyer Says

摘要

Thirty-five years after the Superfund law was enacted, the program is seen as playing a large role in changing environmental behavior in the U.S., speakers said during a Dec. 10 webinar. "Whatever one thinks of it, one thing it's done is changed corporate behavior in a very concrete way," said Joel Gross, a partner with Arnold & Porter. Anyone who has gotten involved in a Superfund site doesn't want to do so again, he said. So when people are analyzing what steps to take and what the risks are and what they are going to do in the way of pollution prevention, it is very much a factor on people's minds, Gross said.
