Evaluation of lead
Yes, author has included which organizations/countries use the PPP through the edit featured below:
 * Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?

"It is regarded as a regional custom because of the strong support it has received in most Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and European Union countries. It is a fundamental principle in US environmental law." Yes, author has provided a clear and concise definition of the "polluter pays principle" as the article's introductory sentence.
 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?

"In environmental law, the polluter pays principle is enacted to make the party responsible for producing pollution responsible for paying for the damage done to the natural environment. This principle has also been used to put the costs of pollution prevention on the polluter" No it does not. No it does not. As previously mentioned, the lead is concise and appropriate.
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Evaluation of structure/organization/clarity

 * Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?

Yes, all edited/added sections of the article are easy to read and are concise. Though, to my knowledge, only edited sections should be placed in the sandbox and not the whole article? Hard to distinguish what was edited and what was already there.


 * Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?

Period should be placed after the citation in these sentences:

"This principle has also been used to put the costs of pollution prevention on the polluter "

"his mandate requires oil companies to pay for damages, regardless of whether or not the spill is their fault "

Possible typo?:

"Jean-Baptiste Fressoz henu,"

Yes, nothing irrelevant or redundant has been added to the Lead or Applications by Country section.
 * Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Evaluation of balance
Yes, the PPP definition and the PPP policies in Australia, Canada, Ghana are all relevant information. After doing background research, PPP laws seem to be still enforced in all added countries, so, yes. Example cases of PPP being enforced (or possibly not enforced) in each country could be added to expand sections.
 * Is the content added relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content added up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Example: News: Alberta Premier wants to subsidize oil and gas companies to clean up their mess (possible violation to Canada's PPP)

Evaluation of Neutrality
Yes. Article does not promote or bash PPP, but simply states what it is and how it is applied in different countries. No. No. No.
 * Is the content added neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Evaluation of Sources and References
No it is not, but that could be done in final edits. Yes.
 * Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Does the content accurately reflect what the cited sources say? (You'll need to refer to the sources to check this.)

Reference 1: Verified published document, paraphrasing of what is found on the introductory page.

Reference 2: Verified newspaper and accurate information.

Reference 3: Verified, actual section of 1991 Protection Act.

Reference 4: See reference 1.

Reference 5: News site is not a verified source but secondary references can be used to backup citation. Other than reference 5, yes. Due to the nature of the article (not many changes have been made to the PPP) sources tend to be older. Hard to find current updates.
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Are there better sources available, such as peer-reviewed articles in place of news coverage or random websites? (You may need to do some digging to answer this.)

They all do.

Overall impressions
It has, the lead has been improved to be concise and well explained and the application by country additions are accurate and help expand this article (which is pretty bare bones/lacking key information). Using the above resources can expand the application by country section.

 * What are the strengths of the content added?
 * How can the content added be improved?
