Description and Table of Contents

Description

One of the most critical areas of environmental controls is the regulation and management of hazardous wastes. This book examines the political context in which policy and management decisions in this are are made (state and federal, public and private), discusses implementation of the current policy mandate (the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act), and its financing (the Superfund). The contributors analyze specific cases and assess the evolution of hazardous waste regulation at federal, state, and local levels.
