In the wake of the disastrous Exxon Valdez oil spill, Congress passed the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 to provide a comprehensive, unified system of oil spill liability and compensation. Its numerous provisions further several important environmental goals, including:

            • Establishing civil and criminal penalties for oil spill violations
            • Developing a national contingency plan for the effective clean-up of oil spills
            • Establishing claims procedures for the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund
            • Setting certain construction specifications for oil tankers
            • Setting financial responsibility and insurance requirements
            • Establishing procedures for natural resource damage assessment and clean-up.

OPA 90 is integrated with other environmental statutes, such as the Clean Water Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, to provide a nationwide system for oil spill liability, removal and restoration, and compensation.
