The National Agricultural Law Center offers a wide
range of resources, one which is the Environmental Law Reading Room available here.
Environmental law is a “body of law dedicated to the
protection of the natural environment.”
The reading room offers a variety of resources on the laws which have
rapidly developed in recent history and cover a broad range of issues “from
pesticide use to erosion control, and from water quality, quantity and use, to
particulate contamination of the air we breathe.”
Included are major statutes, such as the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA), the Federal Water Pollution and Control Act (also known as the
Clean Water Act), the Federal Air Pollution and Control Act (also known as the
Clean Air Act), and the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA).
The reading room also includes regulations, a link to
the case law index on environmental law, links to administrative decisions,
Center research publications, and many other publications and resources.
These resources are provided by the National
Agricultural Law Center as a free service to the public.
