Began as amendment to Solid Waste Disposal Act
Promulgation very slow
Administrative scandal
Most prescriptive environmental law passed
It isnt fun anymore. Wm. Ruckelshaus during 2nd Term as EPA Administrator
45 Goals of RCRA
Protect human health and the environment from hazards posed by waste disposal
Conserve energy and natural resources through waste recycling and recovery
Reduce or eliminate the amount of waste generatedincluding hazardous waste
Ensure that wastes are managed in an environmentally sound manner.
