CERCLA Today: Case Law, EPA Activity, Contribution, Allocation and More!

Event | 06.03.14, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Are you current on the latest developments in CERCLA (Superfund) law…?

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, or “Superfund”), is a comprehensive scheme meant to establish the rights and responsibilities of parties involved in actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances. Seminal cases like Burlington Northern & S.F. R. Co. v. U.S. and U.S. v. Atlantic Research were supposed to answer lingering CERCLA questions related to cost recovery, contribution, arranger liability, and divisibility. However, over the years, unanswered questions continue to mount on the application of CERCLA, preemption issues, and allocation. The forthcoming CTS Corp. v. Waldburger case will surely answer some of these questions while undoubtedly raising others!

Register today for this CLE webcast on CERCLA and listen to our authoritative panel of environmental attorneys discuss the hottest topics in CERCLA liability today. Recent decisions and forthcoming ones will be examined by the panel. The faculty will also offer best practices for minimizing CERCLA liability.

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco

Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
