Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Hazardous Waste Management

Programs Will Not Be Effective:

Greater Efforts Are Needed


Neither the Environmental Protection Agency
nor the States have the staff and funds to
operate and manage programs effectively for
the control of hazardous waste disposal, ex-
cluding nuclear waste, and future funds are
expected to be much less than estimated
needs. About 56 million tons of this waste
will be generated annually by 1980.

State agency programs are not adequate to
carry out the requirements of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976.

The Environmental Protection Agency cannot

    .-provide the necessary technical assist-
    ance to start hazardous waste programs,

    --provide the needed review and monitor-
    ing activities to assure that State pro-
    grams are adequate, and

    --take over and operate the programs in
    accordance with provisions of the act
    when States cannot or will not do so.
