What happened at Love Canal, New York, in the 1970s that spurred Congress to enact CECLA? What will be an ideal response?
A residential community situated on top of a chemical waste dump began to experience serious health
issues related to leaking toxic substances. The problem became so acute that the President of the
United States declared the area a federal disaster area. This led to the evacuation and relocation of the
community and a very expensive cleanup effort. It was an important case because it prompted
Congress to enact legislation that provided money for toxic cleanup. This legislation also gave the
EPA authority to sue polluters for the cost of cleanup and relocation of victims.
