Clean Air Act Section 111(d) CO2 Reduction Compliance Pathways for the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West States
(University of Oregon School of Law, 2015-06-12) Duncan, Angus
The Article describes the architecture of a regional electric grid extending across nine Intermountain West (IMW) and Pacific Northwest (PNW) states, characterized by coal-fired generation on the east and south serving loads across the region including states to the west with few or no coal facilities but with significant loads and energy efficiency opportunities. This multi-state system architecture argues for an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Air Act § 111(d) strategy that calculates the required Best System of Emissions Reduction (BSER) standard on both a state-by-state and a regional basis, and for a rule that affords states wide flexibility to enter into a range of multi-state compliance arrangements.

Beyond a Government-the-Hunter Paradigm: Challenging Government Policies on Deer in a Critical Ecological Era
(University of Oregon School of Law, 2015-06-12) Hall, Lee
This Article examines the current forcible model of deer control sweeping the United States and proposes another model in its stead: one that adapts and works symbiotically with natural processes. Effective resource management and sound environmental ethics are supported by a shift away from heavy-handed animal control. A shift in management perspective makes sense when the presence of deer is officially treated as a “pest” problem. Although, with time and patience, a natural balance could be achieved. Moreover, forcible animal control can diminish biodiversity and exacerbate climate change in ways science is just beginning to understand. Emerging research results indicate the need for policy changes.
