Abstract

Does the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") bar a state law claim for restoration damages?

This question is of particular importance because CERCLA is not clear about whether it would bar a claim for restoration damages when the compensation for the damages would, by law, be spent on remedies that may supplement an existing remedy the EPA has chosen through CERCLA.
