Ok, Troop, you want the facts, www.epa.gov will get you going. As you must know, the EPA is the main federal agency that seeks to abate and control pollution by research, monitoring, standard setting and enforcement. This includes oil spills and contamination. The EPA sets the basic rules, the floor if you will, the states set the ceiling. The States can set higher standards but not lower than the EPA’s floor. The EPA delegates to the states, and the states administer the EPA programs. In Louisiania, the EPA delegates to LDEQ, www.deq.louisiana.gov , who administers many of the EPA Programs. If you want me to continue, please let me know.
Also, if you go to the EPA page you will get the basics on environmental liability. The entire point of this liability lesson is that contrary to localoil’s statement, no landholder nor lessee will be released from liability by leasing, subleasing, assigning or any other transfer to BDGR. Thus, localoil's conclusion that the transfer of ownership or rights in property to BDGR to avoid liability is wrong.
