18 PURSUING THE PUBLIC CLAIMS
19 Response Costs/Removal & Remedial Costs Strict Liability for Remediation Environmental Claims most frequently arise under federal/state statutes: Non-Oil: CERCLA, RCRA Clean Water Act and State law equivalents State Superfund and equivalents Strict Liability Applies Joint & Several Liability Often Applies Impacts of BNSF Divisibility vs. Allocation Polluter Pays (loosely speaking)
20 Natural Resource Damages: Different than Cleanup/Remedial Claims Cleanup/response is primary Risk based Human health & environment Superfund and other State/federal schemes More legal authority/case law More accepted for cleanup
21 Return to Baseline Baseline Condition D A B C E Release of Hazardous Substance Causes Injury Response Actions Begin Response Actions End Remedial Actions Begin Remedial Actions End Recovery to Baseline Time
22 Natural Resource Damages Trustees may seek to recover damages for the injury to the resource caused by the effects of contamination and the effects of the remedial actions taken at the site Damages include Cost of restoration and/or replacement (actions taken with respect to the same resource or type of resource) Acquisition of an equivalent resource (actions taken to replace the equivalent of the services to humans/environment provided by those resources)
23 Natural Resource Damages Include the costs of: Assessing an area s natural resource damages, Restoring the natural resources, and Compensating the public for the lost use of the affected resources. Only available to federal, State and triabal trustees.
24 Other Theories of Recovery Negligence Gross Negligence and Per Se Violations Trespass Statutory Violations and Penalties Purpresture & Obstruction of Navigation Public Nuisance: Imminent Endangerment Private Nuisance Breach of Contract Fraud and Negligent Misrepresentations
25 Damages & Relief Available Compensatory damages to reimburse costs Injunctive order requiring remediation Property Damages: Market value of property or loss of income Remediation Costs Economic Damages Restitutionary Measures of Damages Exemplary damages and penalties Attorneys fees and litigation costs
26 Oil Pollution Act of 1990 Exxon Valdez Significant Gaps in Remedies and Response Capacity Hit PWS Community and Economy Congress Passes the Oil Pollution Act of 1990: Covers oil spills in navigable waters Strict liability applies Responsible Parties are liable for all Removal Costs and Damages Fund for cleanup and third party claims Damages cap sometimes
27 Costs & Damages Available Under OPA Response Costs Natural Resources Damages AND Property Damages Lost Governmental Revenues Costs of Additional Public Services Lost Profits and Earning Capacity Subsistence Use Damages
28 Federal Court Decision Could Mean Fine of Up to $18 Billion Wall Street Journal Headline: September 4, 2014 BP IS FOUND GROSSLY NEGLIGENT IN DEEPWATER HORIZON DISASTER
29 The Impact of Deepwater Horizon Hard to Overstate the Potential Impacts Economic Damages to Private Parties Public Entities Lost Revenues and Increased Costs of Public Services Natural Resource Damages Damages to the Marshes Injuries to fish, birds and food chain Losses of Human Uses and Cultural Impacts Removal of Damage Caps Long term impacts on drilling in the Gulf Legal Ramifications
30 Remote Damages Available OPA broadened the availability of damages by allowing for the recovery of economic damages by those without a proprietary interest in damaged property (i.e., Profits and Earning Capacity damages). This is a significant departure from federal maritime law, which required that persons who do not have a proprietary interest in physically damaged property have no cause of action for their economic losses. (Robins Dry Dock)
31 Causation and the Scope of Damages Traditional Property Damages Lost Profits Restaurants & Hospitality where? Lack of Physical Proximity: Seafood Industry Governmental Losses of Revenues & Taxes Across Every Sector Tourism, Seafood, O&G Offset by Response Inflows? Increased Costs of Social Services? Others? Moratorium and Economic Response Injuries? Line Drawing is very hard but the breadth of damages is staggering
