Abstract:

With the advent of the California Superfund program, liability related to toxic waste cleanup became a critical issue in California. The state had no authority to indemnify consultants selected for hazardous waste cleanup evaluations, and the consultants were unwilling to do the work without protection. A group of engineering firms banded together in a two year effort to get protective legislation passed.
