The Clean Air Act describes the legislative history regarding the reduction of atmospheric pollution. The United States Congress first passed the Air Pollution Control Act of 1955,then the Clean Air Act in 1963, followed by amendments in 1966, the Clean Air Act Extension in 1970,and further amendments in 1977 and 1990.

This course discusses the goals and importance of the Clean Air Act through its legislative history. Amendments have been implemented to these Acts, especially the 1990 Amendments which are covered in great detail in this course.

This course also covers how the Clean Air Act is designed to protect people and how well that goal has been accomplished. In addition, the course describes the purpose and requirements of the New Source Review (NSR) permitting program and the Title V permit program. The course ends with the Clear Skies Legislation which was proposed to reduce power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), and mercury.

Package 4: 40 Hour HAZWOPER + RCRA: What the Law Requires - 44 HOURS

This package is part of our Oil Spill Clean Up series designed to provide personnel with the relevant training and certifications that may be needed to participate in the cleanup efforts. This package consists of the 40 Hour HAZWOPER Course and RCRA: What the Law Requires Course.

Course Description: RCRA What the Law Requires

This course explains the history of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), its structure and its key elements that provide the framework for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) comprehensive waste management program. The course discusses the specific requirements of various types of facilities that treat, store, transport or dispose of hazardous waste.

Summary of the Clean Water Act

Introduction to the Clean Water Act

The Clean Water Act (CWA) is the cornerstone of surface water quality protection in the United States. (The Act does not deal directly with ground water nor with water quantity issues.) The statute employs a variety of regulatory and nonregulatory tools to sharply reduce direct pollutant discharges into waterways, finance municipal wastewater treatment facilities, and manage polluted runoff. These tools are employed to achieve the broader goal of restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters so that they can support "the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water."

For many years following the passage of CWA in 1972, EPA, states, and Indian tribes focused mainly on the chemical aspects of the "integrity" goal. During the last decade, however, more attention has been given to physical and biological integrity. Also, in the early decades of the Act's implementation, efforts focused on regulating discharges from traditional "point source" facilities, such as municipal sewage plants and industrial facilities, with little attention paid to runoff from streets, construction sites, farms, and other "wet-weather" sources.

Starting in the late 1980s, efforts to address polluted runoff have increased significantly. For "nonpoint" runoff, voluntary programs, including cost-sharing with landowners are the key tool. For "wet weather point sources" like urban storm sewer systems and construction sites, a regulatory approach is being employed.

Evolution of CWA programs over the last decade has also included something of a shift from a program-by-program, source-by-source, pollutant-by-pollutant approach to more holistic watershed-based strategies. Under the watershed approach equal emphasis is placed on protecting healthy waters and restoring impaired ones. A full array of issues are addressed, not just those subject to CWA regulatory authority. Involvement of stakeholder groups in the development and implementation of strategies for achieving and maintaining state water quality and other environmental goals is another hallmark of this approach.

CWA: The Big Picture

Brief Overview of Key CWA Elements

First, water quality standards (WQS) consistent with the statutory goals of the CWA must be established. Then waterbodies are monitored to determine whether the WQS are met.

If all WQS are met, then antidegradation policies and programs are employed to keep the water quality at acceptable levels. Ambient monitoring is also needed to ensure that this is the case.

If the waterbody is not meeting WQS, a strategy for meeting these standards must be developed. The most common type of strategy is the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). TMDLs determine what level of pollutant load would be consistent with meeting WQS. TMDLs also allocate acceptable loads among sources of the relevant pollutants.

Necessary reductions in pollutant loading are achieved by implementing strategies authorized by the CWA, along with any other tools available from federal, state, and local governments and nongovernmental organizations. Key CWA tools include the following:

NPDES permit program

Covers point sources of pollution discharging into a surface waterbody.

Section 319

Addresses nonpoint sources of pollution, such as most farming and forestry operations, largely through grants.

Section 404

Regulates the placement of dredged or fill materials into wetlands and other Waters of the United States.

Section 401

Requires federal agencies to obtain certification from the state, territory, or Indian tribes before issuing permits that would result in increased pollutant loads to a waterbody. The certification is issued only if such increased loads would not cause or contribute to exceedances of water quality standards.

State Revolving Funds (SRF)

Provides large amounts of money in the form of loans for municipal point sources, nonpoint sources, and other activities.

After implementation of these strategies, ambient conditions are again measured and compared to ambient water quality standards. If standards are now met, only occasional monitoring is needed. If standards are still not being met, then a revised strategy is developed and implemented, followed by more ambient monitoring. This iterative process must be repeated until standards are met.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA]

RCRA, enacted in 1976, is the principal Federal law in the United States governing the disposal of solid waste and hazardous waste

History and Goals

Congress enacted RCRA to address the increasing problems the nation faced from its growing volume of municipal and industrial waste. RCRA, which amended the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, set national goals for:

Protecting human health and the environment from the potential hazards of waste disposal.

Conserving energy and natural resources.

Reducing the amount of waste generated.

Ensuring that wastes are managed in an environmentally sound manner.

Implementation

EPA waste management regulations are codified at 40 C.F.R. pts. 239-282. Regulations regarding management of hazardous waste begins at 40 C.F.R. pt. 260. As noted below, most states have enacted laws and promulgated regulations that are at least as stringent as the federal regulations. Furthermore, the statute authorizes states to carry out many of the functions of RCRA through their own hazardous waste programs (and state laws), if such programs have been approved (authorized) by the EPA
