The third and final section focuses on solid and hazardous waste, toxic substances and electric generation with a particular focus on the National Environmental Policy Act. The Second Edition adds recent important judicial decisions relating to hazardous waste, endangered species, the National Environmental Policy Act, citizen standing and other topics.
