The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) By Elaine Song

What It Is The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) Drafted March 16th 1989 Amended June 21, 1989- August 4, 1990 International Regulation Enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency

What It Does OPA amended the Clean Water Act to require facilities to prepare Facility Response Plans, and make vessels and facilities liable for the cost of cleanup and damage in the event of oil spills. The removal of oil is enforced by the EPA. A trust fund created by taxes on oil is used to finance cleanups when the responsible parties are unable or unwilling to. OPA gave the EPA a stronger ability to prevent and respond to oil spills. OPA affected the environmental pollution created by oil spills.
