ABSTRACT
Environmental Enforcement and Liability are important issues inpreserving our environment. Environmental laws and statutes arewritten and enacted with the intention of bettering the atmosphere and human health. However, simply because a law is passed doesn’t mean facilities and polluters will automatically change their procedures. The theory of compliance offers a method that provides a system to assist laws in producing positive results.1 The theory of compliance consists of four parts: implementation, compliance, enforcement, and effectiveness. Following these steps and holding responsible parties liable is expected to motivate companies and industries to meet the requirements for creating a positive change in the condition of the environment.
