Targets of Environmental Laws: : 

5 Targets of Environmental Laws: Products Pollutants Industrial Facilities Government Agencies Individuals

HzW Rules….. : 

6 HzW Rules….. What is the purpose? The objective of the Hazardous Waste (MH&TB)Rule is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation’s Air, Waters and Land.

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act : 

7 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act What is the purpose? to provide a “cradle to grave” framework for managing solid and hazardous waste from generation to final disposal Who must comply? Any party that generates, transports, stores or disposes of solid and hazardous waste. Who implements the program? the EPA

RCRA …. : 

8 RCRA …. What are the Major Provisions? Permits (Subtitle C): Requires generators, transporters, and treatment/storage/disposal facilities to obtain permits before handling solid or hazardous waste. Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (Subtitle C): Requires preparation and maintenance of Waste Manifest to track origin of waste, who is transporting the waste, and destination of waste. Sanitary Landfills (Subtitle D): Addresses the management of nonhazardous waste and exempt hazardous solid waste. This title mainly pertains to the design and monitoring of wastes that are disposed of in sanitary landfills. Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (Subtitle I): Addresses problems associated with regulated substances entering the soil and groundwater due to leaking underground storage tanks.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act : 

9 Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act What is the purpose? To provide a mechanism to clean up contaminated sites and hold potentially responsible parties accountable for clean up costs. What is the scope? Parties may be liable for cleanup costs if they contributed any amount of hazardous substance to a contaminated site, e.g. anyone who disposed of hazardous substances found at the site. How is the Act enforced? The EPA can conduct a short-term removal action at any site requiring emergency action or conduct a long-term remedial action at any site on the National Priorities List. The EPA can compel private parties to cleanup a site when release or threatened release of hazardous substances present an imminent endangerment to the public health or welfare of the environment.

CERCLA. . . : 

10 CERCLA. . . What are the major provisions? Contaminated Site Cleanup: CERLCA authorizes the EPA to force parties that were responsible for the release of hazardous substances to finance cleanups on the contaminated site. Superfund: Where the responsible party cannot be identified or has gone bankrupt, CERCLA established a $1.6 billion Trust Fund, known as Superfund. The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) appropriated another $8.5 billion. National Priorities List: The EPA can only conduct long term remediation actions at sites that are on the National Priorities List, which ranks the sites eligible for Superfund clean up.

Toxic Substances Control Act : 

11 Toxic Substances Control Act What is the purpose? To regulate toxic chemicals and mixtures that present an “unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment” What is the scope? TSCA places the burden on manufacturers to supply the EPA with information on environmental and health effects of chemical substances and mixtures. The EPA then has broad power to regulate the manufacture, use, distribution, and disposal of chemical substances and mixtures. However, the EPA must balance the economic and social benefits of a chemical against the risks when setting forth regulations. Who implements the program? the EPA Unlike other programs, states do not implement TSCA

TSCA . . . : 

12 TSCA . . . What are the major provisions? Premanufacture Notice (Section 5): Any person who manufactures or processes new chemicals for commercial purposes must submit a premanufacture notice (PMN) to the EPA at least 90 days before they begin manufacturing or processing. The PMN lists the intended uses of the substance, the information required to develop test data, and the nature of the test data that was developed. Existing Chemicals (Section 4): TSCA requires manufacturers, importers, and processors of TSCA-related chemical substances to submit data to the EPA on existing chemicals when they may present an unreasonable risk to health and environment or when they are produced in such quantities that there is a potential for a substantial release into the environment or human exposure.

Slide 13: 

Environmental issues are best handled with participation of all concerned citizens, at the relevant level. At the national level, each individual shall have appropriate access to information concerning the environment that is held by public authorities, including information on hazardous materials and activities in their communities, and the opportunity to participate in decision-making processes. States shall facilitate and encourage public awareness and participation by making information widely available. Effective access to judicial and administrative proceedings, including redress and remedy, shall be provided. Rio Principle 10 pravinmjadhav@ramky.com

Schedule 2 : 

Schedule 2 If a component of the waste appears in one of the five risk classes listed (A,B,C,D or E) and the concentration of the component is equal to or more than the limit for the relevant risks class, the material is then classified as hazardous waste. If a chemical compound containing a hazardous constituent is present in the waste, the concentration limit does not apply to the compound, but only to the hazardous constituent itself. If multiple hazardous constituents from the same class are present in the waste, the concentrations are added together. If multiple hazardous constituents from different classes are present in the waste, the lowest concentration limit corresponding to the constituent(s) applies. For substances in water solution, the concentration limit for dry matter must be used. If the dry matter content is less than 0.1% by weight, the concentration limit, reduced by a factor of one thousand, applies to the solution.
