Types of environmental concerns
The types of environmental issues that could affect your land or your health include the following:
Waste
Many industries have hazardous waste that corporations must dispose of. These industries include hospitals, dry-cleaning facilities, construction companies, oil and gas businesses, and more. In fact, several federal and state laws exist to keep the general public safe from hazardous waste disposal.
Water and air
Groundwater pollution and wetland development are two major concerns when living near factories, natural resource mining, or oil and gas drilling companies. State and federal guidelines govern how these companies must operate and keep chemicals out of the air and water.
Endangered species
When an industry needs to expand, it usually does so in areas with large parcels of land. This could be on thousands of acres of flat land with no timber or it could be thousands of acres of forest. Endangered species that live in these areas could become extinct if a business operation pushes them out or removes resources.
Regulations
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is one of several agencies that governs on the federal and state levels. Legislation like endangered species acts, dry-cleaning solvent regulations, and state guidelines for hazardous waste also mandate ecological protection rules. Legislation that protects the environment includes:
- The Toxic Substances Control Act
- The National Environmental Policy Act
- The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
- The Clean Air Act
- The Safe Drinking Water Act
- The Clean Water Act
- The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
- The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
- The Pollution Prevention Act
- The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
- The Endangered Species Act
- The Oil Pollution Act
- The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
- The Freedom of Information Act
- The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
- The Food Quality Protection Act
While the acts above are at the federal level, the state of Florida has similar legislation that can be more stringent.
