SIN 899-4 WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The National Contingency Plan (NCP) was published in 1968 in response to oil spills and subsequently to hazardous substance releases. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authority to regulate hazardous waste from "cradle-to-grave." Included were the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA also established the framework for the management of non-hazardous wastes. Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments added to RCRA in 1984 required phasing out land disposal of hazardous waste. In December 1980 CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act) also known as SUPERFUND, was enacted by Congress. CERCLA directed EPA to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances from closed or abandoned hazardous waste sites that endangered public health or the environment.
