              EPA AND STATE INSPECTION,  ENFORCEMENT,
      AND PERMITTING ACTIVITIES A'T HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITIES

Mr. Chairman and members of  the Subcommittee:

     We are pleased to be here  today to discuss our September 21,

1983, report entitled Interim Report  on Inspection, Enforcement,

and Permitting Activities at Hazardous Waste  Facilities (RCED-83

-241).  The report presents data  on key elements of the federal

hazardous waste regulatory program  established by the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act of  1976.  It is based on our work

at the Environmental Protection Agency  (EPA) headquarters in

Washington, D.C., EPA Regions I  (Boston, Massachusetts), IV

(Atlanta, Georgia), V  (Chicago, Illinois), and IX (San Francisco,

California); and in four states--California,  Illinois,

Massachusetts, and North Carolina.  Before  completing our review,

we will be performing work  in EPA Region II (New York, New York)

and in two additional states--New Jersey and Tennessee.   We hope

to issue a final report in the spring of  1984.

     Perhaps the best way for me to proceed, Mr.  Chairman, is to

discuss the four major areas  that we addressed in our i terim

report:
