Abstract

The loose framework of statutes that constitutes environmental law, once an exemplar of ad hoc joinery using materials of expedience, is quietly evolving a sounder, more unified structure. Statutory programs have, in effect, borrowed from each other as years of experience have shown which approaches to pollution controll and natural resource management are more, or less, successful
