a mining company has its workers dispose of highly flammable oil and does not report it; this is in violation of which federal law? endangered animals act cercla second amendment

Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • The Endangered Animals Act focuses on protecting endangered species, not hazardous waste disposal.
  • CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act) deals with the cleanup of sites contaminated with hazardous substances and requires reporting of releases of hazardous substances, which matches the mining company's unreported disposal of flammable (hazardous) oil.
  • The Second Amendment relates to the right to keep and bear arms, irrelevant here.

Answer:

B. CERCLA
