handle is hein.gao/gaobaberg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: .9 9 BY THE U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On Commerce, Transportation and Tourism Committee On Energy And Commerce House Of Representatives Inspection, Enforcement, And Permitting Activities At New Jersey And Tennessee :Hazardous Waste Facilities Facilities where hazardous waste is treated, stored, or disposed of are subject to federal controls. This report presents data on key lements of the hazardous waste regulatory program for New Jersey and Tennessee facilities. Overall, GAO found that: -Eleven of 14 facilities in Tennessee and 5 of 34 facilities in New Jersey are not in full compliance with ground water monitoring requirements. -Neither state knew the extent of compliance with financial responsibility requirements which are intended to assure that when facilities close, funds will be available for proper facility closure and postclosure care. -Infrequent followup was made and few enforcement actions were taken to ensure that violations identified through in- spections were corrected during GAO's review period. -EPA and the states have issued relatively few final permits to the estimated 7,500 facilities requiring them. EPA recognizes that widespread noncompliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act program requirements exists, and it has recently taken or plans to take actions to improve the inspection, 124659 enforcement, and permitting program. However, it was too early for GAO to assess whether these actions have been successful. RELEASED .9 0 .,,UGAO/RCED-84-7 (73S3738JUNE 22, 1964
