Mapping environmental court settlements: The role of reparations in mitigating environmental harms.
Despite civil cases and settlements, largely from Clean Air and Clean Water Acts violations, resulting in over $8 billion in settlements since 1998, the effectiveness of these reparations on local communities has not been adequately assessed. This research aims to fill a gap by evaluating the impact of environmental reparations on these communities, using data from the U.S. EPA enforcement and compliance office and the American Community Survey.
