Description: In 1965, to encourage environmentally sound methods for disposal of <br /> household, municipal, commercial, and industrial refuse, Congress passed the first federal <br /> law to require safeguards on these activities, the Solid Waste Disposal Act. Congress <br /> amended this law in 1976 by passing the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act <br /> (RCRA) (pronounced "Ric-ra"). The primary goals of RCRA are to: Protect human <br /> health and the environment from the potential hazards of waste disposal. Conserve <br /> energy and natural resources. Reduce the amount of waste generated. Ensure that wastes <br /> are managed in an environmentally sound manner. <br /> Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility - Facilities that receive hazardous waste from <br /> generators or other facilities for treatment, storage or disposal of waste are known as <br /> TSDFs. <br /> Agency: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Phone Number: 8004249346 <br /> Date of data: 4/13/2004 <br /> Date last checked: 4/30/2004 <br /> Distance searched: 0.5 miles <br /> Sites: <br /> None Found <br /> SWIS <br /> Solid Waste Information System <br /> Description: The Solid Waste Information System(SWIS) database contains information <br /> on solid waste facilities, operations, and disposal sites throughout the State of California. <br /> The types of facilities found in this database include landfills, transfer stations, material <br /> recovery facilities, composting sites, transformation facilities, waste tire sites, and closed <br /> disposal sites. <br /> Agency: CA Integrated Waste Management Board <br /> Phone Number: 9163416320 <br /> Date of data: 4/28/2004 <br /> Date last checked: 4/30/2004 <br /> Distance searched: 0.5 miles <br /> Sites: <br /> None Found <br /> CalSites-NFE <br /> Unconfirmed Properties Needing Further Evaluation <br /> Description: The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) maintains an <br /> automated database that contains information on properties in California where hazardous <br /> substances have been released, or where the potential for a release exists. This database is <br /> known as "CalSites." For over a decade, CalSites has assisted DTSC staff, the public, the <br /> Legislature, federal, state and local agencies by providing a brief history of cleanup <br /> activities, contaminants of concern, and scheduled future cleanup activities. This category <br /> contains properties where contamination has not been confirmed and which were <br /> determined as not requiring direct DTSC Site Mitigation Program action or oversight. <br /> Accordingly, these sites have been referred to another state or local regulatory agency. <br /> Agency: CA EPA, Department of Toxic Substances Control <br /> Copyright02004,Environmental Record Search,All rights reserved. wvvw.RecCheck.com <br /> (800)377-2430 <br /> 14 <br />
