Abstract

Part 1 of 2 I. INTRODUCTION 223 II. LOST IN TRANSLATION: THE CHALLENGES OF USING STATUTORY TEXT TO STREAMLINE INFILL DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRAIN LOCAL DISCRETION 235 A. The Basics of [...], California faces a dire housing crisis. California's land-use regulatory system remains a key driver of this crisis. State law grants local governments broad power to craft their own regulations on how to review and approve housing development. Though state law may limit a locality's ability to outright deny some types of housing development, local governments can and do use creative ways to stall approvals or functionally deny housing by making it infeasible to develop. One such strategy is to demand more intensive environmental review of new housing projects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) than what state law requires. More intensive environmental review can create substantial delay and uncertainty, increasing the costs for the construction of new housing. Although the state has made many efforts to streamline the process of both local land-use regulation and CEQA review, delays and uncertainty remain. We propose that the state address this ongoing problem by (1) issuing an authoritative map of urban "infill priority areas" (IPAs) where new housing is expected to provide net social and environmental benefits, and (2) limiting the scope of environmental review, within the IPAs, to environmental impacts identified by the city or members of the public within a brief temporal window and demonstrated by the proponent of environmental review to be significant. In effect, the law would presume no impact from new housing within an IPA unless significant impacts are quickly and unambiguously identified. We also propose enforcement mechanisms. New infill housing reduces carbon emissions, exposure to wildfire risk, and threats to habitat. Environmental review should be calibrated accordingly.

Abstract

I. INTRODUCTION The Pebble Mine project, a "giant cache of copper, gold, and molybdenum," stands at the crossroads of environmental conservation and economic development. (1) The proposed mine is located [...], This Note addresses the myriad of legal and regulatory barriers new mining projects face in Alaska at present. These barriers have become increasingly important at a time when the United States has sought to bolster its domestic mineral supply chain. With over 100 newly located critical mineral deposits, Alaska may be the best place in the United States to establish further domestic sources of critical minerals. By streamlining the regulatory process at both the federal and state level, Alaska can better (1) protect domestic supply chains from global disruptions; (2) maximize the economic benefits of meeting increased global demand for these minerals; (3) contribute to a global energy transition towards clean and renewable energy sources; and (4) balance important local environmental policy concerns against global policies addressing climate change. This Note provides an overview of the regulatory landscape at present and outlines proposed reforms for the future.

Abstract

I. INTRODUCTION: SEEDS INTO TREES II. "REASONABLY NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE" III. "NO EMPLOYEE WILL SUFFER" IV. CANONS V. SIGNIFICANT RISKS VI. OF COSTS AND BENEFITS VII. THE NONDELEGATION PROBLEM VIII. [...], The foundations of modern administrative law were laid in 1980, with the disparate opinions of a sharply divided Court in Industrial Union Department, AFL-CIO v. American Petroleum Institute (commonly referred to as the "Benzene Case"). Consider four points. (1) The Benzene Case is now understood to be the first contemporary appearance of the Major Questions Doctrine. (2) The Benzene Case marked the return of the nondelegation doctrine, signaled most plainly by then-Justice William Rehnquist's elaborate concurring opinion but also by a favorable reference in the plurality opinion by Justice John Paul Stevens and an open-minded sentence from Justice Lewis Powell. (3) The Benzene Case is the origin of contemporary cost-benefit default principles, permitting or requiring agencies to exempt de minimis risks, to consider costs, and to engage in some form of cost-benefit balancing, unless Congress has squarely said otherwise. (4) The Benzene Case essentially defined "significant risk," with a precise numerical definition (one in one thousand) that persists at the Department of Labor to this day. At the same time, a close analysis of the plurality opinion in the Benzene Case shows that it is best understood as a specification, above all, of the Absurdity Canon--a Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States for the modern administrative state--with the specific purpose of ensuring against the imposition of high costs for small benefits, and thus of requiring a kind of proportionality between costs and benefits. So understood, the Benzene Case had, and continues to have, an important and salutary effect on regulatory programs. Its significant and much broader current role, more than four decades after the opinions were issued, is an intriguing case study in doctrinal development, and in particular, how Supreme Court decisions can plant small seeds that become big trees.

Environment Protection Act 2017, Victoria. Occupational Health and Safety Act 1985
Abstract

CONTENTS I Introduction II From Command and Control to Duties-Based Law and the Origins of the State of Knowledge A Overview: Victoria's Duties-Based Approach and the Transformation of Environmental Regulation [...], Knowledge is core to the key tasks of environmental protection and regulation: analysing, diagnosing, predicting and intervening to manage or prevent adverse effects of human activities on the environment and human health. Aptly, the central mechanism of the recent Environment Protection Act 2017 (Vic)--the general environmental duty--embeds the concept of the 'state of knowledge'. This drives the new Environment Protection Act 2017 (Vic)'s shift to a comprehensive, flexible, risk-based approach to environmental protection. Though inspired by a similar approach under occupational health and safety law, conceptualising and implementing the state of knowledge in the environmental context will be more difficult. Importantly, environmental risks can be numerous, diverse, ambiguous, and prone to accumulation in complex ways. This article uses the scenario of stormwater management to draw out the dimensions of the state of knowledge and challenges in applying it. These challenges point to important roles for government and non-government stakeholders alike in building and disseminating knowledge about the environment and the environmental risks of relevant activities.
