(1996). Vill. Envl. LJ, 7, 157. This article analyzes the case of FMC Corp. v. United States Department of Commerce and argues that the court has over-expanded the scope of "operator" liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980. The primary goal of the Act was to place the "burden of cleanup on parties responsible for creating or worsening an environmental problem." The article argues, the courts consider CERCLA a remedial statute and thus construe it liberally to effectuate its primary goal. To achieve this goal the courts, interpret the scope of "owner" and "operator" liability broadly and in this particular case, they have over expanded it.
