| Abstract | Long Description |
Corrective action is the environmental cleanup program for dangerous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs). It is a federal program, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) delegated implementation of the program to the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology). Ecology uses the state "Superfund" law, the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA), cleanup procedures and requirements to implement corrective action. Therefore, cleanup at TSDFs under corrective action is consistent with that at other sites requiring cleanup, statewide. The purpose of this report is to provide a brief summary of corrective action at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs) in Washington. It includes a general description of the corrective action environmental cleanup process, including the authority to require cleanup and the various phases of the cleanup process. It also describes how Ecology and EPA work together to conduct corrective action in Washington through various state and federal environmental programs. |
