1 Name: The Oil Pollution Act of 1990, Draft Year: 1990 by the 101st Congress, Amendment Year: Never Amended, National The act has increased EPA’s control over oil spills to help prevent them, and their response to an oil spill. This act allows the federal government to get involved with cleanup and companies have to pay up to $75 million if responsible for a spill. Some environmental issues affected are that it has prevented Exxon into Alaskan waters after the valdez spill, and oil tankers carrying more than one million gallons of oil entering Prince William Sound.
