Operates under authority of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. It protects human health and the
environment by ensuring responsible national management of hazardous and nonhazardous waste. It's goals are
to conserve resources by reducing waste,
to prevent future waste disposal problems by writing result-oriented regulations, and
to clean up areas where waste may have spilled, leaked, or been improperly disposed of. Individual states adopt federal standards and
operate their own waste management programs. [ eng ] |
