Contacts Hazardous Waste and Materials and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) gave EPA the authority to control hazardous waste from the "cradle-to-grave." This includes the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA also set forth a framework for the management of non-hazardous wastes. The 1986 amendments to RCRA enabled EPA to address environmental problems that could result from underground tanks storing petroleum and other hazardous substances. RCRA focuses only on active and future facilities and does not address abandoned or historical sites (see CERCLA See: Storage Tanks RCRA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act- RCRAimp1.doc envrcra2.h tm PDF files require Adobe Acrobat reader

Case No. 2 Topic:Environment: Hazardous Waste Local Government: Tottori Prefecture Document Title: Vice Governorfs Meeting Minutes Date of Request: unknown Date of Disclosure: unknown Degree of Disclosure: Partial Disclosure (exceptions for personal information, deliberative information) Case Summary: In 1988 it became known that waste soil generated from the mining of uranium from the Ningyo Pass between Tottori and Okayama prefectures was being dumped in the mountain forests of Katamo in Higashisato village in Tottori prefecture. In 1990, upon demands by area residents to remove the waste soil, the mine operator (the former Donen) entered into an agreement with the local council promising to remove the soil from the Katamo area and carry it back to the mining operations area at Ningyo Pass in Okayama prefecture. However, that plan was frustrated because of opposition from the governor of Okayama prefecture, and the waste soil from the uranium mine stayed where it had been dumped. In 1996, with the lease contract for the waste soil dumpsite at an end, and the mining operation continuing to illegally occupy the land, Tottori prefecture moved to try to solve the problem. In 1997 there was consideration given to storing the soil on prefectural land in Sancho village, but this was frustrated when the village would not give its permission. After that, the prefecture proposed storing the waste soil at various locations in Higashisato village, and the village council voted to accept this resolution. A village association of fruit growers entered its name as able to provide a storage place for the soil, but there was strong resistance from local residents, and even now there is still no resolution in sight.

Introduction Waste to Resources strategies Waste to Resources Committee Green Events ... Resources Waste to Resources Introduction Poor environmental practices have led to a degradation of the world's water, air and land as well as wasting our precious natural resources. Many of the processes and products associated with modern lifestyles have adverse effects on the environment and it is becoming increasingly expensive to treat and dispose of excessive waste. 'Waste to resources' is an approach that involves the control of environmental pollution, waste minimisation and the consideration of waste products as potential resources before disposal. The role of the EPA The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is responsible for administering the Environment Protection Act 1993 (the Act), which aims to achieve sustainable development by promoting environmentally sound practices by all South Australians. As a signatory to the document Agenda 21, adopted at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (popularly known as the Earth Summit), Australia is committed to preventing environmental degradation and establishing a basis for a sustainable future. Further, as a signatory to the Basel Convention, Australia is committed to the safe and appropriate disposal of hazardous wastes.
