The testimony of 43 witnesses form environmental agencies and private organizations, industry, recyclers, and other interested parties at this two-day hearing brought a variety of views on whether Congress should tighten loopholes in the hazardous waste law. The responsibility for the problems experienced at Times Beach, Missouri and at Baltimore's Monument Street landfill is placed on the practices allowed by these loopholes. In addition to several case studies, witnesses discussed steps needed to eliminate the land disposal of hazardous wastes. Specific issues included landfill standards, hazardous waste enforcement, and the polluted streams that are not listed under current regulations. (DCK)
