Strategies for Accelerating Cleanup at Toxic Waste Sites by Scott Marshall Payne Pdf

Accelerating Cleanup at Toxic Waste Sites: Fast-tracking Environmental Actions and Decision Making presents truly innovative advances in investigative and cleanup technologies, offering valuable solutions that streamline the data collection process, speed up the time it takes to characterize a site, and expedite decision making. Using easy to understand graphic displays, tables, text summaries, and real world case studies, and by synthesizing technical and regulatory reference information crucial to the development of effective cleanup strategies, this book provides the framework for environmental professionals to develop project and program approaches that meet today's needs. An advanced text for those with at least basic understanding of environmental investigation, cleanup, regulations, decision making, and policy development, Accelerating Cleanup at Toxic Waste Sites addresses the "human" side of the environmental industry and why it is perhaps one of the most important considerations for successful accelerated cleanup. This book takes the next step by providing managers, project teams, and other professionals with approaches that bring techniques, regulations, strategies, and people together into one comprehensive package that works.

Cleaning Up the Mess by Thomas W. Church,Robert T. Nakamura Pdf

The federal Superfund program for cleaning up America's inactive toxic waste sites is noteworthy not only for its enormous cost - $15.2 billion has been authorized thus far - but also for its unique design. The legislation that created Superfund provided the Environmental Protection Agency with a diverse set of policy tools. Preeminent among them is a civil liability scheme that imposes responsibility for multimillion dollar cleanups on businesses and government units linked - even tangentially - to hazardous waste sites. Armed with this potent policy implement, the agency can order the parties who are legally responsible for the toxic substances at a site to clean it up, with large fines and damages for failure to comply. EPA can also offer conciliatory measures to bring about voluntary, privately financed cleanup; or it can launch a cleanup initially paid for by Superfund and later force the responsible parties to reimburse the government. In this book, Thomas W. Church and Robert T. Nakamura provide the first in-depth study of Superfund operations at hazardous waste sites. They examine six Superfund cleanups, including three regions and both 'hard' and 'easy' sites, to ask 'what works?' Based on detailed case studies, the book describes various strategies that have been applied by government regulators and lawyers and the responses to those different strategies by businesses and local government officials. The authors characterize the implementation strategies used by the EPA as prosecution, accommodation, and public works. They point out that the choice of strategy involves setting priorities among Superfund's competing objectives. They conclude that the best implementation strategy is one that considers the context of each site and the particular priorities in each case. Looking toward the reauthorization of Superfund, they also offer recommendations for improvements in the organization of the program and discuss proposals for change in its

Risk Management Strategies Applied To Environmental Cleanup In Central And Eastern Europe - Proceedings Of The International School Of Innovative Technologies For Cleaning The Environment by Richard C Ragaini Pdf

This book evaluates current technology and policy practices in the United States and Western Europe in the areas of environmental risk assessment, risk prioritization and risk management, and recommends strategies for successful risk management regarding cleanups in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).The primary focus is on the evaluation of proven risk management stategies, which can gain public and regulatory acceptance, and thereby accelerate the demonstration and use of innovative US and host country environmental technologies in CEE. This will, in turn, help to accelerate the use of innovative, cost-effective cleanup systems at US DOE sites, and the use of US environmental technologies in foreign markets.The book emphasizes using risk management strategies as key components of integrated life cycle systems designed to treat hazardous/radioactive waste, and to remediate soil/groundwater plumes. Other topics of discussion include: partnerships with international companies for commercial applications; acceptance by CEE governments; and relationships to other US government initiatives.

Ranking Hazardous-Waste Sites for Remedial Action by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources,Committee on Remedial Action Priorities for Hazardous Waste Sites Pdf

The United States may not be able to make all hazardous-waste sites as clean as possible. Therefore, priorities must be set for the timing of waste site remediations. This book assesses several of the government's methods of ranking sites for remediation and compares the performance of three such models using input data developed from the same set of waste sites. Because inconsistent methods may be neither effective nor prudent, the book recommends that the government consider developing a unified national approach to setting priorities to replace the current multiple approaches.

Superfund by James F. Donaghy Pdf

Superfund cleanup timing has been a long-standing concern of the Congress & EPA. In the Superfund Amendments & Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Congress set time goals for EPA & federal agencies to evaluate individual nonfederal & federal sites for placement on the National Priorities List (NPL) & begin various cleanup actions. In 1992, EPA introduced several initiatives designed to expedite Superfund cleanups. This report examines trends in the time taken to evaluate & process hazardous waste sites for possible placement on the NPL & to clean up these sites following their listing. Tables & graphs.
