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 /> EPA estimates that between 50 and 70 percent of all TSDFs have some degree of <br /> environmental contamination requiring detailed investigation and perhaps cleanup. Under <br /> a program entitled Corrective Action, EPA has the statutory authority to require <br /> permitted and interim status TSDFs to clean up hazardous waste contamination. <br /> Agency: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Phone Number: 8004249346 <br /> Date of data: 4/13/2004 <br /> Date last checked: 9/14/2004 <br /> Distance searched: 1 mile <br /> Sites: <br /> None Found <br /> ERNS <br /> Emergency Response Notification System <br /> Description: The primary function of the National Response Center is to serve as the <br /> sole national point of contact for reporting all oil, chemical, radiological, biological, and <br /> etiological discharges into the environment anywhere in the United States and its <br /> territories.
