Environmental laws and regulations are extremely complex and difficult to understand. In order to comply with them, they need to be explained in layperson's terms. The handbook identifies many changes in regulations and recommends ways to apply and implement them. Containing the latest environmental information, this third volume addresses environmental compliance with land and provides a historical perspective to help follow the logical growth and increased complexity of land regulations through time. Structured as a "step-by-step how-to" book, readers will find real-life examples for the most important aspects of language, permit terms, demonstrating compliance, and organization for land projects.

Features:

• Introduces all land pollution control regulations and the requirements of any land pollution control permits available up to date
• Answers in depth all practical questions that arise when working on compliance projects in a "how-to" method
• Addresses a wider spectrum of issues that go beyond chemical-based contamination and environmental regulations and examines the impacts of climate change
• Includes many real-life examples and case studies from industry and institutions that comply with land use regulations
• It is global in coverage and very useful to companies that have expanded operations outside their country of origin
