Court denies GE's constitutional challenge to Superfund cleanup orders

摘要

A federal appeals court has rejected General Electric's constitutional challenge to the Superfund law, upholding EPA's authority to issue orders directing companies to clean up hazardous waste sites. The June 28 ruling, by a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, affirms two lower court rulings and strikes another blow against GE's decade-long challenge of the Superfund statute.
