    Environmental Issues in Bankruptcy Cases discusses how key provisions of the Bankruptcy Code affect the environmental liabilities of parties to bankruptcy proceedings and how courts have reconciled the competing goals of environmental law and bankruptcy law. Written by lawyers from the firm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, the monograph puts environmental actions and obligations in perspective and offers a clear explanation of the effect of the bankruptcy filing.

    The monograph includes the following Appendices:

    Appendix A Guidance on EPA Participation in Bankruptcy Cases (1997)
    Appendix B Interim Protocol for Coordination of Bankruptcy Matters under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (2005)
    Appendix C EPA's Guidance on the Use of Section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (1997)
    Appendix D Selected Provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
    Appendix E Selected Provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
    Appendix F Selected Provisions of the Oil Pollution Act Following an introduction (§1), the monograph begins with an overview of the pertinent environmental laws (§2) and an explanation of the tension between bankruptcy law and environmental law (§3). The monograph then considers the environmental notification requirements of debtors (§4) and the application of key protections offered by the Bankruptcy Code (§5). The final section (§6) analyzes the bankruptcy treatment of environmental obligations.
