1. New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation, Albany, NY (United States). Div. of Hazardous Substances Regulation

The author discusses some of the present and future hazardous waste management regulatory initiatives and also presents some of his personal views on hazardous waste management. The primary federal statute governing the regulation of solid and hazardous wastes is the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Subtitle C of RCRA, relating to hazardous waste management, has evolved into a command and control approach for hazardous waste generators and waste management facilities. The EPA, under RCRA, may authorize a state to administer and enforce a state hazardous waste program in lieu of the federal Subtitle C program.
