Seyfarth Shaw Environment partners Andrew Perrelis and Ilana Morady published an article written in Law360 on April 4. The article descussed a recent case in which the U.S. Court of Appeals issued an opinion which held that arranger liability under Section 9607(a)(3) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Comensation and Liability Act can attach to a potentially responsible party, even if it does not direct a site owner to dispose of hazardous substances.

The authors point out that, 'Even if the stated purpose of an arrangement is not disposal of hazardous substances, an intent to dispose can exist and arranger liability can still attach."
