Abstract

This small work constitutes a simple outline of the means available to US Law to guarantee compliance with environmental legislation, highlighting those that are most striking in the eyes of a Spanish jurist: the enforcement of public initiative but articulated through of civil actions (judicial actions), the so-called “civil” sanctions, whether imposed administratively or judicially (civil sanctions), citizen actions (citizen suits) and the fabulous claims based on the Common Law (Common Law remedies).
