David A. Roth will lecture at the “Discharge Prevention Program: Compliance in New Jersey” hosted by Rutgers University’s New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station on May 13, 2015 at Rutgers’ New Brunswick campus. Mr. Roth’s presentation will focus on “Court Decisions Related to Spill Act Liability for Discharges.”

As part of State regulations, major facilities are required to prepare, submit and update Discharge Prevention Containment and Countermeasure (DPCC) plans and Discharge Cleanup and Removal (DCR) plans with the NJDEP. This program will provide guidance on preparing updates to current DPCC and DCR plans, ensuring compliance with the plans and NJDEP rules and a discussion of the federal Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure program, and more.

He assists clients in successfully resolving compliance and enforcement issues that arise under federal and state statutes, including New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) and Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and Right-to-Know laws.

Mr. Roth represents owners/operators, generators and other potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in private and government litigation, cost allocation and other proceedings involving the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund), New Jersey’s Spill Compensation and Control Act (Spill Act) and other state superfund laws, at federal and state hazardous waste disposal and contamination sites throughout the United States.
