California's environmental standards can be more stringent than the federal standards. If you work in California or do business with someone who does, make sure you understand the differences. This newly updated handbook takes you step-by-step through the statutes and programs and provides you with a comprehensive overview of California's complex laws. Contents include new legislation codifying significant portions of the New Source Review program, the new Hazardous Waste of Concern and Public Safety Act, new statutes regulating packaging and package components, amendments to California's Proposition 65, changes to water and coastal-resources regulations, and new developments to tort law.
