Legal Fractures: Why the Voluntary Chemical Disclosure Registry Fails as a Regulatory Compliance Tool


Legal Fractures: Why the Voluntary Chemical Disclosure Registry Fails as a Regulatory Compliance Tool, a White Paper by Kate Konschnik, with Margaret Holden and Alexa Shasteen, questions the reliance of eleven states on a third party website for oil and gas industry reporting requirements.
