      OSHA promulgated the Hazardous Waste Worker Protection Standards in 1990, regulating the safety and health of employees involved in cleanup operations at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites and in any emergency response to incidents involving hazardous substances. The standards require that a site safety and health plan be developed prior to the commencement of site activities. The personal computer program developed by the EPA's Environmental Response Team to generate a Generic Site Health and Safety Plan that complies with the standards is described. The plan was developed using the best technical and scientific information available at the time of printing. The generic health and safety plan is currently being introduced to all EPA regions and will soon be available to the public. Read less

      In Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County u. United States Army Corps of Engineers, the United States Supreme Court ended the ability of the Corps to rely on the Migratory Bird Rule in asserting its jurisdiction over intrastate, non-navigable waters. The Court limited the jurisdiction of the Corps in regulating waters that are not "navigable" in the traditional sense of the word, and lefi unanswered how far the Commerce Clause extends in allowing federal regulation of the environment. The Court's holding illustrates that navigability is poorly suited for determining the appropriate scope of federal regulatory jurisdiction. Instead, linking federal jurisdiction to the environmental value of the resource at issue, through an ecosystem services assessment, would dispense with the current disconnect between environmental protection and "navigability" under the Clean Water Act.

      How the success and popularity of recycling has diverted attention from the steep environmental costs of manufacturing the goods we consume and discard. Recycling is widely celebrated as an environmental success story. The accomplishments of the recycling movement can be seen in municipal practice, a thriving private recycling industry, and widespread public support and participation. In the United States, more people recycle than vote. But, as Samantha MacBride points out in this book, the goals of recycling—saving the earth (and trees), conserving resources, and greening the economy—are still far from being realized. The vast majority of solid wastes are still burned or buried. MacBride argues that, since the emergence of the recycling movement in 1970, manufacturers of products that end up in waste have successfully prevented the implementation of more onerous, yet far more effective, forms of sustainable waste policy. Recycling as we know it today generates the illusion of progress while allowing industry to maintain the status quo and place responsibility on consumers and local government. MacBride offers a series of case studies in recycling that pose provocative questions about whether the current ways we deal with waste are really the best ways to bring about real sustainability and environmental justice. She does not aim to debunk or discourage recycling but to help us think beyond recycling as it is today. Read less
