As the effects of climate change continue to alter our environmental landscape, contamination and its subsequent cleanup often make front page news. Less often discussed are the legal schemes involved in those cleanups, including how the costs of undertaking them are paid.  A party held responsible for cleanup costs may look to recoup some of its financial outlay from other parties, whether through an indemnity agreement or insurance.  While contractual recoupment should be an option regardless of jurisdiction, New York Navigation Law adds additional potential routes to recovery via statute.
