Description

Barry Leonard (ed). In 1965, to encourage environmentally sound methods for disposal of household, municipal, commercial, & industrial refuse, Congress passed the first Fed. law to require safeguards on these activities, the Solid Waste Disposal Act. Congress amended this law in 1976 by passing the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA). Its primary goals are to: protect human health & the environ. from the potential hazards of waste disposal; conserve energy & natural resources; reduce the amount of waste generated; & ensure that wastes are managed in an environmentally sound manner. This report provides an overall perspective on how RCRA works.
