This Note is an adapted version of my Senior Honors Thesis, which I completed in partial fulfillment of the requirements of The University of Michigan's School of Natural Re- sources and Environment Honors Program. I am deeply indebted to Professor Robert H. Abrams who was my thesis advisor and who provided invaluable advice, guidance, and sup- port. I received much assistance from officials at the Michigan Department of Environ- mental Quality and the various city governments; this assistance is greatly appreciated. I also thank the community residents who were more than illing to speak with me, and vish them luck in their continuing efforts to improve the environments in which they live. Finally, I am grateful to Tom Ballantine, Stig Colberg, Stephanie Easley;Jocelyn Scheffel, Ethan Schutt, and the members of the Stanford Environmental LawJournua whose hours of hard work and insightful comments only improved this Note.
