District attorney adds
Environmental
Protection Division
By JOSH MARQUIS
Of the Emerald
Lane County District Attorney Pat Horton has announced the
creation of an Environmental Protection Division within his office.
Heading the new division will be Shelley Smith, a recent graduate of
the University’s Law School. Smith has an extensive background in
environmental law and will be assisted by law students working in the
district attorney’s office.
Lane County is the first district attorney’s office to make such a
move in the state of Oregon.
Horton commented that “traditionally, district attorneys have
ignored environmental laws, leaving these problems to the State
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).” Horton said that the
DEQ has specific jurisdictions and powers and he feels the entry of the
district attorney’s office into this area is important “since those who
pollute our air, water and land in violation of the law are just as much
criminals as those who create a public nuisance by destroying
property and causing harm to others.”
Horton emphasized that the district attorney’s office will “work
hand-in-hand with the DEQ as well as the federal Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).” Horton said that the personnel of the DEQ
and EPA were particularly trained and qualified to investigate
possible violations of environmental law and that “the efficient en
forcement of environmental protection laws requires the combined
talents of county, state and federal authorities.”
The new division will handle both complaints from citizens and
support civil sanctions issued by other agencies. “This area of the law
is constantly being revised,” said Horton, “Thus enforcement is often
difficult and complex, and initiative and determination on the part of
public officials is demanded.”
Horton also commented that there exist chi the books laws which
provide both civil and criminal sanctions for persons convicted of
violating environmental laws. He pointed to the public nuisance
statute, which allows persons violating provisions of the water
pollution laws to be prosecuted under public nuisance laws in addition
to the original offense. The statutes set out penalties for air, water and
land pollution which range up to one year in jail.
Horton said that he hopes to see his office assist as the prosecuting
arm of the statutes and “help insure the right of the public to a clean
and healthy environment.”
