The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 is a substantial step toward closing the last major unregulated gap in the pollution control cycle. Recycling of aluminum cans, returnable bottles, and more stringent municipal sludge management are various regulatory areas that have now been placed under the purview of this legislation. Currently, EPA is concentrating on developing a nationwide inventory of dumps. Delivering technical assistance to local communities and implementing the hazardous waste regulatory program are other measures that are receiving the agency's attention. Sheldon Meyers, deputy assistant administrator for solid waste, opted for a moderate regulatory approach, thus making a conscious effort not to offend industry. (3 photos)
