| Abstract |
The study identifies current financial responsibility requirements of Federal and State governments for transporters of hazardous materials/wastes; discusses current insurance availability, coverage and cost for transporters of hazardous materials and wastes by mode and size of carrier; discusses typical 'clean-up costs' for mitigation of damage to human health and the environment; identifies the adequacy, or inadequacy, of current financial responsibility practices of carriers, both in terms of self-insurance and purchased insurance to cover cost of spill 'clean-up' and discusses alternatives for adequate levels of financial responsibility to be required of each mode transporting hazardous wastes if current insurance practices and/or requirements are not sufficient to cover cost of spill 'clean-up' and analyzes economic impact of requiring such levels of financial responsibility. |
