An analysis of the Supreme Court's resolution of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act citizen suit debate

Article Abstract:

The Supreme Court, in Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Environment, implied that citizen suits under the Emergency Planning and Community-Right-To-Know Act will not be permitted where a past violation ("historical violation") of chemical emergency reporting rules has been cured prior to the filing of the suit. Steel Co. does not preclude citizen suits for current or ongoing violations of Act; individuals may sue a corporation for failing to comply with the emergency reporting requirements, provided the plaintiff has been given 60 days notice of its intent to sue.
