A national contingency plan for hazardous waste
Journal Article
·
· Environ. Sci. Technol.; (United States)
Lack of progress in the promulgation of the National Contingency Plan (NCP) and Superfund for cleanup of hazardous waste is discussed. EPA's revised NCP has drawn criticism from government agencies, environmentalists and the author of Superfund, Rep. James Florio of New Jersey. Issues of concern are the use of the Hazard Ranking System to determine priorities for responses to releases of hazardous substances, the lack of specific guidelines or regulations, and the lack of enforcement initiatives.
