The second of four newsletters on hazardous waste to be published by the Natural Resources Department of the LWVEF discusses;

  1. House and Senate Bills which reauthorize the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) which regulates all facilities generating, storing, treating, transporting or disposing of hazardous waste; (These bills give hazardous waste management program more money and more clout by closing loopholes in existing regulations.)

  2. EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) disappointing performance in administering the original Act; 1

  3. the long-awaited regulations on Land Disposal;

  4. protection of ground water from hazardous waste;

  5. state funding for hazardous waste cleanups to supplement federal funding.
